Palette & Plate: An Evening of Artful Dining

Looking for a memorable summer night? Savor an evening where art, flavor, and community come together. Join us for Palette & Plate, our intimate dinner series where culinary artistry meets the Cummer Museum's collection. Hosted by Allishia Bauman, a leader in Jacksonville's nonprofit community, this edition of Palette & Plate invites you to explore how a single artwork can inspire both conversation and cuisine. Your evening begins with a close look at a featured artwork from the Museum's collection, as Allishia and Museum staff offer a unique perspective on its themes of connection and place. Afterward, enjoy a multi-course dinner crafted by Chef's Garden, with each dish creating a dialogue between visual art and culinary craft. Join us for a night that blends culture, reflection, and delicious discovery. Your ticket includes food and beverages, a copy of Allishia's book, The Art of Space Making, and Museum admission. Arrive early to explore the galleries at your leisure.
