Salt City Dishes

Just as we were taking time to reimagine DISHES and starting to build the event for 2020, the pandemic hit. We’re taking a break, but hoping to re-launch when it's safe to do so. In the meantime, hoping you and yours are safe and healthy!

Hello, friends of DISHES! Please excuse the extended silence - our team has been busy with pregnancy, births, engagements, and new jobs in the midst of all the usual twists and turns of the year. Because of these changes and how they lined up with our event planning process, we’d paused our efforts and promised to reconvene when we could. We look forward to reconnecting with you later in 2019. Meanwhile, we are wishing you warmth and joy and hoping you’ll keep dreaming up ideas that you’ll be ready to share with us soon. With love, Jeremy, Kate, Lorna and Stasya

Come to the Museum of Science & Technology - MOST on May 26th to see the continuation of SciExcite's project, which won the 2017 DISHES micro-grant.

The ninth DISHES dinner was another sold-out success! We awarded the $2,000 mini-grant to 'Navigating Syracuse' of Hopeprint and $500 to 'Operation Dropbox'. Special thanks to our photographer, Tyler Brown Studio of LoveWell Weddings, for providing these stunning images! More of his photography can be found at lovewellweddings.com. Thank you again to our sponsors, Commonspace; Syracuse Cooperative Market; More Sound Recording Studio; Laci's Tapas Bar; and M.S. Hall & Associates. We love you dearly and couldn't do this event without you! And many thanks to our friends and partners at With Love Restaurant, HUNKA Foods, Inc., Wagner Vineyards; Wagner Valley Brewing Co.; Zimmer's Bakes; The Sweet Praxis; Recess Coffee & Roastery and Tommy Lincoln.

Last year, Picture81 presented a project to bring artists' portrayals of Interstate 81 to local gallery spaces. This is where the project is today! If you've got some 2D work you'd like considered - send it their way.

Huge thanks again to Laci's Tapas Bar for their sponsorship of DISHES!
