The Rahr West Art Museum is looking for designers for an exhibit.
Each year, dozens of local volunteers create inspiring tablescapes based on works of art in the Art of Tablesettings exhibit.
In honor of the Museum’s 75th Anniversary, this year’s challenge will be to create tables based on the same work of art, Phenomena: Saturn Ascent by Paul Jenkins.
Mrs. West created a disco-themed table based on this work in 1980, but since the painting is over 13 feet wide and participants are usually limited to 4×6’ spaces, it is not usually available for the exhibition.
There is no judging of the tables, but rather, this challenge is all about seeing how different teams will interpret the piece differently.
Participation in this special challenge would not prevent designers from having their own individual tablesetting with other art, as is tradition.
Applications for this year’s Art of Tablesettings exhibit are due Sunday, April 20, 2025.
