The House of Arete:
Capital & Creation Dinners
A table. A bottle opened. A conversation that lingers long after the last glass is poured.
Where women of substance gather.
The Capital & Creation Dinners are intimate, off-the-record gatherings for women who have already built and achieved, and who now crave spaces of depth and discernment.
Around these tables sit founders, investors, artists, architects, strategists, and women who hold real capital — financial, social, cultural, creative. Each one carrying the weight of leadership, and the desire to carry it more artfully.
This is not networking. Not small talk. Not another panel of predictable advice.
It is a circle where vision, wealth, family, and art can share the same breath — and be fully understood.
Why We Gather:
Some of the sharpest women in the world are trapped in echo chambers of their own industries. And we believe true magic and innovation is made in the collisions — where design meets finance, where art sits beside strategy, where tech crosses paths with culture.
Because brilliance multiplies when it crosses disciplines.
When the novelist sits beside the developer.
When the restaurateur shares wine with the investor.
When the artist finds herself next to the technologist.
These dinners are about convergence.
Women of capital and influence — financial, creative, cultural, social — gathering not to perform or posture, but to think freely, to cross-pollinate, to forge alliances and friendships that reshape what’s possible.
Around these tables, power becomes porous. Vision expands. And conversations have the potential to alter the trajectory of a career, a company, even a culture.
By Invitation
The Capital & Creation Dinners are private and intentionally intimate.
Attendance is by invitation only, with guest lists curated to protect the quality of conversation.
If you are a woman stewarding wealth, shaping culture, or creating something significant — and you resonate with the ethos of Arete — we welcome your inquiry.
