Pairing art and food in the most creative way!

On Friday, February 7th, guests will join the KANEKO for an unforgettable evening, pairing local artists and chefs to create exciting combinations of food and art in KANEKO’s gallery spaces. Each artist/chef duo will work together to invent a food and wine pairing, inspired by the artist’s creations while wine and a selection of fine chocolates will be provided by Lange Winery. Selections of work by the artists collaborating in the event will be displayed at the KANEKO the evening of the event and for two weeks following. Selected artwork presented at the event will be for sale, so guests can purchase something unique AND, because half of the proceeds will go to support KANEKO’s education programs, support the development of more local artists!  Live music by Mesonjixx will top off this romantic, creative evening; sure to be the sexiest, most interesting event in town. Be sure to get your tickets before they sell out!
