From 2020 until early 2023, the massive Supper Table installation toured throughout the midlands and into the lowcountry, coming home over the summer of 2023 for touch-ups and refurbishment. But beginning in 2024, the Supper Table will be ready to tour again and delight even more audiences with its combination of historical significance and aesthetic beauty.  

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.

Please reach out to the Jasper Project and let us answer your questions about bringing the Supper Table to your town.

“The Myrtle Beach Art Museum’s experience exhibiting The Supper Table was phenomenal. The installation is a stop-you-in-your-tracks, major multi-media work of art that keeps visitors engaged and inspired, while at the same time, educating them on the exciting and important achievements made by an incredibly diverse group of both historical and contemporary South Carolinian women.”
— Liz Miller, Curator, Myrtle Beach Art Museum
