This fundraising event at Kitchen Collective Market brings together food, art, and community in one intimate evening. With your ticket, you’ll get access to a special showing of original artwork created just for this project, each piece inspired by beloved Appalachian favorites. You’ll be able to view the work up close, meet the artists, and experience how each one interprets the same classic dishes in their own unique style.

Your ticket also includes light bites from three different chefs, each preparing their own version of three comfort food staples: a bologna sandwich, cornbread, and fried chicken. Throughout the event, you’ll also have the chance to purchase limited-edition merchandise featuring the artwork, including shirts, hats, market bags, and stickers. A portion of all sales supports Kitchen Collective’s nonprofit mission, so every ticket and every purchase helps sustain local creativity and community food work.
