Art Fare:
Lumen
Dinner Series
Where art, technology, and community meet at the table.
An intimate dinner series that brings together leading voices from across the digital art ecosystem. Hosted in cities around the world, each dinner gathers a carefully curated group of collectors, curators, creatives, tech partners, academics, and Lumen partners to connect over exceptional food, conversation, and creativity.
Small Dinners, Big Impact
Art Fare is more than a meal, it’s a strategic initiative to deepen Lumen’s global network. By creating spaces where art and tech leaders can genuinely connect, we foster collaboration, elevate emerging artists, and expand the visibility of digital art. Each dinner seeds future opportunities, strengthens relationships, and reinforces Lumen’s commitment to growing a vibrant and inclusive creative ecosystem.

Featured Artist
Original artwork served with your starter
Each event spotlights one featured Lumen artist, who creates hand-drawn sketches on cocktail napkins for every guest. These spontaneous and personal artworks, made exclusively for the evening, reflect the artist’s unique touch and creative voice.
-
Venue & Atmosphere
Cozy settings, big ideas
Dinners are hosted in warm, private dining spaces—intimate venues that encourage deep conversation and lasting connections. To preserve this atmosphere, attendance is limited to 15–25 guests per event, ensuring an experience that feels both elevated and personal.
-
Digital Mementos
From tabletop to token
At the event, the napkin sketches are photographed in situ - complete with food crumbs, wine stains, and the textures of a shared meal. These images are airdropped to guests as digital collectibles, each embedded with metadata crediting the artist, venue, and date. They serve as digital artefacts of a real-world moment.
Partnerships
Art Fare is an invitation to collaborate. Lumen actively seeks visionary partners to co-host these events - organizations aligned with our mission to explore what’s next in digital creativity. Together, we craft evenings that are both meaningful and memorable.
