[Image Description: A photo that only captures the south and east ends of a dinner table setup in a gallery setting. In this partial view, 11 people sit in white chairs with shiny, metal legs at tables that are arranged into a square and draped with white tablecloths. They focus their attention on one speaker who is at the south east corner of the table setup. He wears a black hat, white shirt, and black jacket. On the table are mostly-empty plates, forks, wine and water glasses, wine and water bottles, pitchers, serving utensils, and serving bowls and platters half-filled with food. Windows looking onto an urban landscape line the right of the photo.]
Artist Elia Alba and NYFA conducted a Supper Club that kicked off an intensive, multi-day professional development opportunity for artists of color entitled “Artist as Entrepreneur Boot Camp for Artists of Color.” The artists discussed racialization; specifically topics stemming from questioning the titles “person of color” and “artist of color.”
