What is The Supper Table?
The Supper Table, an homage to the 40th anniversary of Judy Chicago’s 1979 epic feminist art exhibition, is a multidisciplinary arts project celebrating the history and contributions of 12 extraordinary South Carolina women and featuring the work of almost 60 of South Carolina’s most outstanding women artists in the visual, literary, theatrical, and film arts.
Imagine a 12' x 12' x 12' triangular-shaped table set with SC-artist-created place-settings each inspired by one of 12 diverse women from SC history whose lives were dedicated to the betterment of humankind.

Support The Project
Your generosity allows for our fellow creatives to stay committed to the project, and allow us to recreate a ground breaking exhibition. The Supper Table will highlight these incredible S.C. born and raised women, who have made an impact during their lifetime. Our hope is that with this project, we will continue amplifying the voices and stories of women hailing from the Palmetto State. Thank you!
Bring The Supper Table To You
From 2020 until early 2023, the massive Supper Table installation toured throughout the midlands and into the lowcountry. The Jasper Project would love to bring the Supper Table to your venue, be it a gallery, museum, library, or theatre. We are scheduling our 2024 – 2026 tour now.
