Supper




You are invited to participate in an ongoing series of suppers conducted by Clay Russell and Calvin Phelps.

The suppers take place on the last Sunday of each month.

Guest include a mix of artists, architects, curators, gallerists, philosophers, writers, musicians and other cultural producers.

The suppers are limited to a small, diverse group of up to 14 people per supper.

From Wikipedia:

Supper is the name for the evening meal in some dialects of English - ordinarily the last meal of the day, usually the meal that comes after dinner. Supper is always an evening meal, but must be noted that supper is not a common meal in many cultures. In Britain, "supper" is used to describe a less formal, simpler family meal (perhaps at 7:00 or 7:30 p.m.). Alternatively "supper" was used to describe a late night snack. In some areas in the United Kingdom, supper is a term for a snack eaten after the evening meal and before bed. In Australian English, supper may refer to a late light dessert or snack had some time after dinner. In New Zealand it is similar – generally cake and tea/coffee served later in the evening, particularly when people have visitors. In most of the United States and Canada, "supper" and "dinner" are considered synonyms, both served between six and eight o'clock. Supper is usually considered lighter fare and a more casual setting, and may be served before a usual dinner time so that evening activities may be unaffected. In the Republic of Ireland, a chicken supper is a meal of chips, gravy, onions, peas and chicken breast. In Portugal, Spain, Latin America, Asia and the Arab World, supper may be taken as late as 10 or 11 p.m.
