Future Tables: An Art + Tech Fine Dining Convergence (SF)
SFMOMA | 151 Third Street, San Francisco, CA
Event Details
Submitted by the Event Organizer
Future Tables is a high-fidelity civic laboratory ritual hosted at SFMOMA. This activation invites 10 people in Arts and Culture alongside 10 people working in the Tech sector for an evening of structured, non-transactional dialogue. Amidst a shifting urban landscape, Future Tables bridges the gap between the city’s “old soul” and its “new engine” to explore a shared civic future rooted in care, creativity, and collective imagination.
What to Expect
The vibe is elegant, design-forward, and deeply collaborative. This is not a standard networking dinner; it is an active co-creation experience where every guest is an author of the night’s outcome.
• The Spectrum Reveal: A live physical installation where your pre-submitted “City Color” digital photos are transformed into tangible prints to anchor your evening’s journey.
• The Interactive History: A witty, curated look at the historical parallels where SF’s art and tech lineages have danced together in the past.
• “The Civic Cipher” Dialogue: Structured, prompt-driven table conversations mapped out over a multi-course dinner.
• Interactive Art Co-Creation: Throughout the entire evening, you will utilize physical art elements right at the table to visually log, process, and lock your insights directly into your premium keepsake booklet.
• Curated Food & Drink: A multi-course narrative dinner paired with botanical shrubs and local craft beers.
About the Future of Us Festival
Launching on America’s 250th anniversary, the inaugural Future of Us festival is a 10-day celebration of civic imagination and possibility. We’re turning community-sourced, expert-crafted visions of the future into art, storytelling, and participatory experiences. With 100+ events spanning every corner of the city (floral labyrinths, speculative future worlds, dance parties with a purpose, and neighborhood meet-ups), it’s a living exploration of what a more creative and generative civic culture could feel like. Organized around four themes (Green Futures, Social Futures, Science & Tech Futures, and Media Futures), Future of Us is breaking down the barriers between art, ideas, and each other, and everyone is invited to co-imagine what comes next.
