Host State Representative Leslie Herod: On the State of Mental Health

Loosely inspired by the exhibitions Francesca Woodman: Portrait of a Reputation and Hubbard / Birchler: Flora, we're hosting a conversation about mental health in the city of Denver, moderated by State Representative Leslie Herod from House District 8.

Kitchen Table brings together artists, activists, and scholars for conversations over dinner using the current exhibitions as a starting point for discussion. Reservations are required, and seating is extremely limited. Each pop-up dinner features a different host and a different theme. Tickets include admission to the museum, dinner, and non-alcoholic beverages. Beer, wine, and cocktails are available for purchase. The dinner menu is presented by Steuben's. Vegetarian meals are available upon request. Due to the nature of the event, we are unable to accommodate other dietary restrictions.


Cost: $12 for members and students | $17 for non-members | $5 for teens
