Art against the dark.
Beauty Table exists to welcome, support, and empower the creative community of Lexington towards a more beautiful city.
Beauty Table exists to bring forth art against the dark. Our city flourishes when we create beauty and equip the beauty makers. Some tend to act like the creative arts are a luxury, but we believe they are a necessity — and one that is best understood in the context of relationship and community, both for the artists and the patrons. We exist to care for the artist — to dignify their call, to invite them into spaces that value relationship and rest. We are a shelter for artists, a place where they can connect and grow for the sake of a more beautiful city. We accomplish this through events, creative projects, small and larger gatherings, and mentorship of local artists and creators.

"Beauty Table is a must have. It makes a WORLD of difference for us swirly artists to feel like we belong somewhere and to someone; to know others who have gone before and who are going alongside on the journey of creating. For many years, I did not have these connections. Now I do. The difference is palpable, and Beauty Table is a piece of that I wouldn’t want to go without.”
