What does it take to create space—not just physically, but intentionally, communally, and sustainably? Space Makers is an intimate dinner for Philadelphia’s creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs who shape the cultural fabric of the city through the spaces they build, steward, and share. Whether it's a gallery, café, studio, venue, shop, gathering place—your work holds space for expression, connection, and transformation.

This evening isn't about a physical contribution— it's about bringing your expertise. Around the table, we’ll explore the many layers of space-making:
— Creating access and belonging
— Holding space for others while protecting your own
— Navigating growth, burnout, and responsibility
— Sustaining spaces that serve both people and purpose

Come ready to share your story, your insight, and your questions. Together, we'll honor the work behind the work—and the city we’re shaping as we go.

For In Harmony, Alex and Sydney are highlighting the power of collaboration by bringing together chefs, musicians, audio engineers, and more. Each group will be designated a course which all together will create a full menu. Each chef then creates a course based on audio from the songs of the musicians in the group.

By stimulating multiple senses, through food, art, and music, we’re giving collaboration a physicality. Collaboration is usually in the abstract, as a concept, but at In Harmony, it’s experienced through all the senses.
