About this event
Join us at the Muscarelle Museum of Art for a special celebration of the Communal Kitchen Table, a project led by Steve Prince, Director of Engagement.
Inspired by Prince’s childhood memories and his understanding of the kitchen as the heart of familial connection and sacred space, the project brings together 350 individual woodblock prints created by community members. Together, these prints will form an extraordinary 4-by-56-foot communal table—a powerful representation of shared experiences, connection and belonging.
In celebration of the project’s completion, the community is invited to gather at the Muscarelle Museum of Art to break bread and commemorate this collective achievement. Participants will be called to the table to share stories and build meaningful connections, removing the walls that too often separate our tables and our communities.
The celebration will feature music, dance, and storytelling, honoring the traditions and experiences that bring us together. Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in printmaking and T-shirt-making activities.
Come take your place at the table as we celebrate creativity, community and the power of coming together.
Performances include:
- African drumming by the DAY Program
- Dance performance by Leah Glenn Dance Theatre
- Poetry by Latorial Faison, Poet Laureate of Virginia
