Set the Table: Immersive Dinner & Art Retreat
2026-07-22 17:00 - 21:00 | McMahon Gallery, Walnut Street, Boulder, Colorado, 80302, United States
TICKETS
The Set the Table exhibition brings together food, art, home, and community, exploring how the table serves as a universal locus for culture, environment, and the many ways we come together over food.
The Dairy Arts Center brings this exhibition to life with a very special event: Set the Table: Immersive Dinner and Art Retreat. On July 22, guests are invited to an intimate farm-to-table dinner surrounded by the artworks of Set the Table, where dining becomes a creative, multi-sensory experience.
The evening will feature a beautifully crafted five-course meal by Forage Sisters, a local, women-owned farm-to-table catering company. Their menu offers a culinary journey through Colorado’s diverse peoples, places, and histories, with each dish rooted in seasonal ingredients, sustainable practices, and the rich narratives embedded in the region’s foodways.
Throughout the evening, Boulder-based artist and founder of Schoolhouse Studios, Kristen Abbott will guide guests through a mini artist retreat. Through a series of hands-on, creative activities woven into the rhythm of the meal, participants are invited to reflect, play, and embrace Abbott’s philosophy of “joyful experimentation.”
The tablescape itself is part of the experience—a feast for the senses that blurs the boundaries between installation, performance, and communal dining. An evening where the act of gathering becomes an artwork in itself.
Includes a five-course dinner, one drink, and all artist-led activities and materials. Bar will be available.
Menu to be announced soon. Capacity is limited to 40 guests—reserve your spot for this special one-night experience.
About Set the Table Exhibition:
The Set the Table exhibition, at the Dairy Arts Center from the 15th of May to the 2nd of August, explores the table as a site of connection—where food, art, and community intersect. Bringing together artists working across disciplines, the exhibition considers how the table is a locus point of culture, and how shared meals carry histories, shape identities, and reflect our relationships to the environment, heritage, and one another.
About Forage Sisters:
Forage Sisters is a full service event and farm-to-table catering company, born between two best friends whose passion lies in bringing people together through intentional food and thoughtful events.
About Kristen Abbott:
Kristen Abbott is a mixed media painter and textile artist based in Boulder, Colorado. Her practice moves between abstract painting and cyanotype textiles, shaped through an experimental, process-driven approach.
In her cyanotype work, sunlight acts as both collaborator and catalyst, imprinting organic forms onto hand-coated fabrics such as linen, cotton, and silk. Abbott often reworks these surfaces with additional materials, building layered compositions that shift with the viewer’s perspective and gradually reveal new details over time.
Guided by a philosophy of “joyful experimentation,” her work embraces unpredictability and reflects an intuitive dialogue with place, light, and material—inviting viewers into quiet moments of reflection and discovery.

This group exhibition explores how contemporary artists engage with the written word, literature, media, and storytelling, examining language as both subject and material. Through practices spanning photography, sculpture, installation, and mixed media, the exhibition asks: What does the word mean today, and how are artists using language as a creative tool, a source of inspiration, or a physical presence within their work?
The exhibition considers the power of words to shape identity, transmit knowledge, and build community, while also reflecting on the evolving role of language in a media-saturated world. It highlights the importance of literature, freedom of expression, and storytelling as vital forces that connect people across generations, cultures, and backgrounds.
Accompanying the exhibition is a rich slate of educational and public programming, developed in partnership with local libraries, the school district, and the University of Colorado. Programming will include author talks, workshops, and collaborative initiatives with nonprofit organizations focused on literacy and reading, creating multiple entry points for audiences of all ages to engage with language, ideas, and creative expression.
Participating artists: Mariel Reed, Nathan Storey Freeman, Bug, Josh Hughes, Dagny Chika, Dawn Siebel, Leona Lazar, Sarah Tenney, Samuel Austin, Lisa Berley, Jacqueline Moulton, Austin Baskett, and Russell Schnell.

BENISE 25 Years of Passion!

Emmy Award Winning Spanish Guitar and Dance Spectacular.
It’s one hot night as Benise, “The Prince of Spanish Guitar,” celebrates 25 years of fiery Spanish guitar and dance.
Armed with his Spanish guitar and a stage full of musicians and elaborately choreographed dancers, Benise takes the audience on a musical journey through Spanish Flamenco, Cuban Salsa, Brazilian Samba, Parisian Waltz, exotic drumming, and more!
Benise (pronounced Buh-nes-say) shattered the mold of Spanish guitar by combining world music and dance – the only show of its kind!
The 25th Anniversary tour establishes Benise’s Emmy Award winning show as one of the longest running Latin-themed theatrical productions touring the world.
For Benise, music has always been a journey. From his humble beginnings as a street performer, to being featured on the #1 rated show in the USA – Dancing With The Stars. Guitarist and creative force behind the event, Benise, comments “I wanted to push the boundaries of Nuevo Flamenco/Spanish guitar while combining the elements of dance and theater. This show is a celebration of all the shows we’ve done over the last 25 years.”

The Human Animal Exhibition Opening Reception
2026-11-13 17:00 - 20:00 | Dairy Arts Center, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
Nov 13 – Jan 31 | Opening Reception: Nov 13, 5 – 8
This exhibition explores how conceptual artists use imagery of animals, creatures, and “the other” to reflect on human nature and the breadth of human experience. Through large-scale installations and sweeping conceptual works, the exhibition examines the symbolic power of the nonhuman as a mirror through which social, political, and psychological realities are revealed.
Focusing on the figure of the animal—and the idea of the “human as other”—the exhibition interrogates themes of aggression, dominance, fear, and control, questioning the often false or ironic divide drawn between humanity and the natural world. What we project onto animals and imagined creatures frequently exposes our own instincts, anxieties, and contradictions, revealing how closely intertwined human behavior is with the forces we claim to stand apart from.
Serving as a launching point for dialogue around American legacy, the exhibition opens space for conversation on politics, history, and contemporary cultural and social issues. By situating animal imagery within broader conceptual frameworks, the works challenge viewers to reconsider narratives of power, violence, and belonging, and to reflect on what it means to be human in relation to the world we inhabit.
Participating artists: Jessica Teckermeyer, Michael Brohman, Tricia Waddel, Xan McKenna, Bailey Anderson, Creative Nations
