History

Established in 2010.

Why a table?

It all started at Ruth Asawa’s home. Her husband, architect Albert Lanier, built her a table that for decades served as a meeting place for artists, poets and politicians in San Francisco. Over conversations at the table, art was created and projects were organized. Asawa’s door was always open as she committed herself to linking her personal life with her community.



Asawa generously donated her table to us with the one wish: it continue to serve as a hearth for creativity. Ruth’s Table welcomes people of all generations and walks of life. It is a place where everyone can come together to share their artistic vision and discover a sense of purpose.
