The Art of Hosting is more than a brand, it's a way of living. 

Created by Venita Aspen, it's a celebration of connection, beauty and the grace of intentional living. 
Rooted in the traditions of Southern hospitality and reimagined for the modern world, The Art of Hosting explores what it means to gather with meaning, to make ordinary moments feel extraordinary through care, creativity, and presence.
At its core, The Art of Hosting believes that how we gather reflects how we live.
Hosting isn’t about performance.
It’s about presence.

It’s lighting a candle before the doorbell rings. It’s creating space for laughter, conversation, and belonging.

Hospitality, to us, is the quiet art of showing people they matter.
Whether it’s setting a table, arranging flowers, preparing a meal, or sharing a moment of stillness, every act of hosting can become a small expression of love.

Host, creative director, and modern Southern tastemaker, Venita Aspen has built her career on connection — between people, stories, and style.

With roots in Charleston, SC, and a background in fashion, food, and media, Venita brings a distinctive eye to the art of living well. Her warmth and creativity have made her a trusted voice in modern hospitality — one that values grace over grandeur and elegance without intimidation.

The Art of Hosting is her personal philosophy come to life: a space where beauty is intentional, generosity is chic, and community is always in season.
