Belger Arts has teamed up with The Savoy for D.I.S.H. (Dinging in Support of Hospitality). Starting April 7, you can dine with a purpose at The Savoy and go home with a hand-crafted ceramic plate made by one of eight Belger Arts artists.

Participating artists are Bekah Bliss, Elaine Buss, Pierce Haley, Paul Maloney, Paul Mallory, Katherine Moes, Sarah Jewell Olsen, and Lilly Powell.

How it works - order a plate shown on the menu and your meal will be served on it. Enjoy your dinner, and keep the plate! Additionally, other ceramic wares from Belger Arts will be available in the 21c Museum Shop! The proceeds from purchasing the plate plus 10% of your meal will support the One Fair Wage Emergency Fund. This offering is only available while supplies last.
