tender is an interactive staged dinner conceptualized by Aaron T Stephan and Gabriela Acero. The event features a wide range of local talent including Chef Brent Foster, Alexa Stark, Bea Willemsen, and Amy Stacey Curtis.

tender is a night of exploration – presenting themes of comfort, discomfort, belonging, safety, autonomy, and selfhood through the lenses of space, place, food, and collective creation. The evening will emerge through constructed spaces that actively change and shift, evoking various public and private places, each with their own implications of belonging and acceptance. The food itself will serve as a bridge to childhood memories, ideas of ascribed value, and culturally informed moments of uncertainty.
