An intimate dinner series that invites you to keep it real and have candid conversations about the art world.
About this Event

Presented by Gallery Sinclair and Saint James Libations, TABLE MANNERS is an intimate dinner series that invites you to keep it real and have candid conversations about the art world.

During each edition, we will gather over five courses with curated wine pairings, invite an artist to share about their work, experience building their career, and answer all of your questions about the art world, spicy or not. How much does it cost? Why did you make it? How are prices actually set? What happens when a work doesn't sell? What should I buy first? Was that piece good, or was it just big? Every “taboo” question is on the menu.

TABLE MANNERS is for collectors who want deeper connections, the almost-collectors who are seeking guidance, the artists and creatives who want to kiki, and anyone who's ever walked into a gallery and walked right back out thinking this isn’t for me.

The first edition welcomes photographer Andina Marie Osorio to the table. Andina will share about her current exhibition at SINCLAIR you’re just a bee charmer and her practice overall. A limited edition photograph by Andina will be available to start or add to your collection. Learn more about her work here

Forget your manners. Bring your questions. Intentionally intimate dinner for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ artists, creatives and collectors.

Courses & Wine by Saint James Libations

Like the conversation, dinner is meant to be shared. Our five-course dinner is a shared journey through the flavors of the African and Caribbean diaspora, where each dish tells a story of memory, migration, and modern Brooklyn. Created by Chef Camari Mick—Food & Wine's Best New Chef of 2024, four-time James Beard semifinalist, and Forbes 30 Under 30—the menu is served tapas-style, encouraging conversation, connection, and discovery around the table.

Thoughtfully paired with curated wines, each course reflects the spirit of Saint James: rooted in culture, crafted with intention, and designed to make everyone feel at home. Built for sharing. Made to pair.
