They say good food is just another expression of art. We think so too! That’s why the Everson Museum of Art has partnered with Salt City Market for a new series of lively conversations between artists and chefs about culture, history, traditions, and technique.
Join us by zoom to hear from artists in their studios, and chef’s in their Salt City Market kitchens. We’ve selected artist/chef pairings that will awaken all the senses and introduce you to some incredible Syracuse talent.

In his first solo museum exhibition, local artist and activist Jaleel Campbell brings a powerful collection of work to the Everson stemming from the exploration of his family history and created with the intention of, in the artist’s own words, “empowering and inspiring Black people in particular to know their worth.” Everson curators Steffi Chappell and Garth Johnson will sit down with Jaleel to discuss his creative process and inspirations.

What did the tea table look like in the Georgian era? Focusing on representations of tea drinking in Britain, India, and North America, Romita Ray will analyze how the histories of porcelain and silver in Britain created new ways of engaging with an expensive Chinese drink. She will also look at how tea utensils produced the spectacle of politeness at a time when the Chinese import emerged a controversial commodity.
