September 10 | 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
An evening where art meets cuisine. You are cordially invited to an intimate artist dinner celebrating the transformative power of gastronomy and visual storytelling.
Step into a one-of-a-kind culinary experience inspired by the vibrant, soul-stirring works of acclaimed artists Amiri Farris and Sonja Griffin Evans.
