MIDTOWN, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. ❤️

What meals remind you of home?
Who taught you to cook?
Where did people gather?
What foods, places, traditions, and memories tell the story of Midtown?

The Midtown Table is a community story gathering—and we’re pulling up a chair for you.

Join us around the table to share stories about food, family, culture, neighborhood, and place. Bring a story, memory, or experience of your own—or simply come ready to listen and connect.

The stories and themes shared around the table will also help inspire our Made in Midtown Creative Fellows as they create new work and content rooted in the people and experiences of our community.

🗣️ THE MIDTOWN TABLE
📅 Saturday, October 24
⏰ 10 AM–12 PM
📍 The Hatch | 126 Keener Ave.
🎟️ Free + open to the community

🌱 And stay for Hatch Fest from 12–5 PM! Spend the afternoon with us enjoying local food, live music, artists + makers, gardening, free skate lessons, a seed giveaway, and more.

Share your story. Then stay and celebrate the community that makes it. ❤️

Applications are open for the Made in Midtown: FLEET Creative Fellowship.

Six emerging creatives will spend six months documenting the people, places, and foodways of this neighborhood. They will work with two Creative Mentors, community partners, and neighbors to build three Story Collections. Each one ends with a Kitchen Conversation at the Made in Midtown Food Lab, where a guest cooks a meaningful meal and shares the story behind it with a live audience.

Everything the fellows produce goes into the Made in Midtown Digital Archive. Films, photographs, recipes, oral histories, and written stories, kept where the community can reach them.

Fellows receive a $3,600 stipend, professional mentorship, a published portfolio, and a certificate of completion.

Applications close October 2, 2026. Applicants must be 18 or older and live in the Greater Jackson metro area.

Full details and application at www.fleetjxn.com

If you know someone in the Jackson Metro Area who should see this, send it to them directly. That works better than a share.

Made in Midtown: The Food Lab is funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mississippi Arts Commission.
