Food and Art Fridays FAQs
What is Food + Art? F+A is where we invite you up to Sable! We open up the Sable Land for family-friendly community gatherings, off-grid in the middle of the Green Mountains. An evening to hang out with your family or friends, enjoy the beautiful view and meet the Sable Artists. BYOB and blanket!
Where is Food + Art? At The Sable Project! Head to this address!
When is Food + Art? Always Fridays! 5:30 - 8:30 pm, bi-weekly the end of May - September
How much does it cost? $5-$25/person suggested donation is much appreciated to keep our performing arts series running. We believe in paying artists for their work, and wish we could pay them more! But fear not, no one is turned away for lack of funds!
Accessibility? Sable is an off-grid community gathering space. We are located on the side of a mountain, thus the landscape is hilly and somewhat uneven in places. However, the amphitheater/stage can be accessed by car and we can hand-deliver pizza to you, if need be! We have one portable toilet located on the trail between the Parking Lot & Dragon Oven Hut. Folks with mobility needs are welcome to use our Artists-in-Residence’s bathroom (with a ramp) next to the Dragon Oven Hut. If this applies to you or someone in your party, please check in with a member of the Sable Team before using the bathroom. For more info visit our Accessibility Page. Feel free to email info@thesableproject.org with any questions!
Parking? General Parking is in a grassy lot, a little further up Taggart Hill Road from Sable’s main entrance, on the right.
More accessible parking is directly inside Sable’s main entrance, next to the gardens. If you need one of these closer spots, you’re welcome to enter via our main driveway. (For best results, make a wide turn into and out of the driveway.)
Dogs? We recommend leaving your furry friends at home. If you do bring your dog, they must remain on leash and you must clean up after them. Performances may include loud sounds and strange movement that could be distrubing to animals. Please be advised if your dog is distressed, or disrupting the performance, we many ask you to leave or put your dog in the car.
Certified ADA service dogs are welcome. Please keep them on leash!
