Every month Supper Sessions sets the table for a celebratory feast cooked by a renowned guest chef on the sunny rooftop of 107 Projects in Redfern. All profits are pooled into an independent $1000 grant, awarded to an artist on the night to kick-start a creative project.

Your $90 ticket gets you a multi course vegetarian meal, flowing drinks, cheeky entertainment and a warm-and-fuzzy feeling that you are supporting artists to make ambitious art happen!

Drinks courtesy of our friends at Young Henry’s, Viticult, Konpira Maru and Poor Tom’s, divine ceramics from pals at Mud Australia and held at the one-and-only 107 Projects.

About Supper Sessions:

Supper Sessions aims to create an un-bureaucratic community generated arts funding system. It’s fun, delicious and a space where we can get together to celebrate great artistic ideas and play a part in supporting them come to life!

Functionally these dinners are a way of generating independent funding for creative projects, and implicitly critical as a way of generating conversation about the availability and distribution of resources within the mainstream arts establishment. Government support for the arts is minimal at best, and over the past decade we have witnessed it systematically being reduced.

These events are also a chance, after the social isolation COVID-19 has caused, to get together, meet new people, chat, laugh and feel a sense of community once again.

How Supper Sessions works:

A ticket to a Supper Sessions dinner is $90, 40% of this is pooled into an independent $1000 grant awarded to an Australian artist to kickstart a creative project. The rest of the funds are used to cook you up a delicious dinner and drinks experience. Your ticket gets you a three course vegetarian meal, flowing drinks and an unforgettable dining experience.

Applications to apply for a Supper Sessions grant open one month before each dinner and remain open for a fortnight. The application process is super simple and applications are assessed by a panel of arts industry professionals. The awarded artist is announced on the night of the Supper Sessions dinner, where they will attend, chat about their idea and how the grant will help kick-start it. Any Australian artist can apply - if you’ve got an idea, Supper Sessions wants to hear it!
