Salt Eaters is an annual, regional survey of contemporary art. The exhibition and dinner serve as a fundraiser to support Salt Eaters, the fellowship, which in 2024 will be sponsored by Latoya M. Hobbs.
Salt is an unrestricted grant founded by artist, womanist, and curator Mahari Chabwera in 2020 to support Black women artists through critical transitions in their careers. The project takes its name from The Salt Eaters, Toni Cade Bambara's first novel set in a southern town of Black faith healers.
Salt Eaters 2023 featured artwork from 20 artists, an all-white attire Artists' Night Dinner with music by John Tyler. And an indigo-attire opening reception with sounds by Spaceship Sol-Omon, composed of artists Bashi, Emperor King Bishop and Jamal (pictured left to right)
