Sculpture, Wine & Dine 2022
We are excited to announce that Sculpture, Wine & Dine will take place across the lake this year! In the field surrounding Stargazing with Contrails, we will present the cocktail reception, dedication ceremony, followed by dinner and the program.
Wear shoes for walking on grass and uneven surfaces, and your best interpretation of “garden party attire”: layers to adjust to changes in weather and in the theme of Stargazing with Contrails (Yellow, Blue, and White, aviation, galactical, planetary, etc.).
The Afterglow Party will be back at the E Lounge Patio and Visual Arts Gallery – where we have an exhibition that is really out of this world: Claire Ashley’s painted inflatable sculptures. Coffee service will be provided by On the Go Jo – so popular last year we had to have them back! Dancing to the DJ’s tunes, bar service, and mingling with friends both old and new.
