The Makers Table: Ignite
Creativity is fire—it may blaze, sometimes flicker, but artists keep it burning. The Makers Table invites you to a curated gathering of creatives where we explore the art of sustaining your passion.
How do you sustain creative work when the muse feels distant? How do you nurture your creative spark in the darkness of burnout? Through thoughtful conversation, community, and breaking bread together, we will celebrate the resilience and dedication it takes to keep the creative fire burning.
We look forward to indulging in this evening of connection, collaboration, and conversation—because passion, like most great things, thrives when shared.

The MakHERs Table x DVAA: The Female Gaze Cocktail Hour
The Female Gaze Cocktail Hour:
Makers Table x Da Vinci Art Alliance
Join us on March 13th for a special Makers Table Happy Hour in collaboration with Da Vinci Art Alliance, hosted within their powerful exhibition, The Female Gaze.
This gathering, held during Women’s History Month, is an opportunity to celebrate female joy and honor the creativity of women artists and makers.
The Female Gaze is an exhibition dedicated to self-portraits by female artists from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and ages. It presents a compelling narrative that challenges traditional representations of women and redefines the concept of the gaze in art. Through self-portraiture, these artists navigate, interrogate, and reclaim their identities from their own artistic perspectives.
During the evening, guests will have the opportunity to hear from curator Sarah Bloom as she provides insight into the exhibition and its themes. Attendees will also have the chance to network with members of The Makers Table community and DVAA members, fostering new connections and creative collaborations. Enjoy a curated selection of mocktails, Golden Rule Cocktails, and sweet treats, all included with your ticket.
Come immerse yourself in art, conversation, and community as we raise a glass to women artists, creators, and the power of female joy. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

The Makers Table: Mixed Up
The Makers Table: Mixed Up invites you to an unforgettable evening of creativity, collaboration, and cocktails at Little Brick Patio on February 18th. This one-of-a-kind event reimagines the art of mixology, placing craft cocktails at the heart of a collaborative culinary and artistic experience while exploring mixology as a metaphor for the beauty of teamwork.
In this interactive gathering, mixologists will craft signature cocktails to inspire their teams, who will then create complementary visuals, food pairings, and other delights—all designed to shine a spotlight on the drink itself. Unlike a traditional dining experience, where food takes the lead, Mixed Up flips the script—everything is crafted to elevate the cocktail and celebrate the harmony of elements coming together.
Throughout the evening, each team's creation will be presented to the group as part of a series of "courses," showcasing not just the cocktail but the collaborative spirit that brought it to life. Mixology becomes more than just crafting drinks—it’s a metaphor for collaboration, blending diverse ingredients, ideas, and talents into something extraordinary.
Join us to explore the magic of mixology, connect with fellow creatives, and raise a glass to the artistry of working together. This is The Makers Table: Mixed Up—where cocktails meet creativity, and collaboration stirs the soul.
