Plan your Valentine dinner for February 20 at the Herrington Inn. Yes, it's after the traditional Valentine Day, but what a great opportunity to celebrate in a fun, new and philanthropic way! Reservations are still available for a unique and exclusive event; it's more than just a phenomenal four course dinner with wine pairings, it's an opportunity to enjoy art at it's best donated by local featured artists. Take home a beautiful memory and fine artwork for a lifetime. This one-of-a-kind event is the only fund raiser sponsored by the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission; Eat Your Art Out! replaces the popular and much lauded Dancing with Geneva Stars.
Which piece of art will inspire the Herrington Inn's Executive Jason Tsoris to create the masterpiece dinner for the Eat Your Art Out! gala event sponsored by the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission on February 20? Will Len Bielefeldt's painting inspire the luscious dessert, or will the main entrée be inspired by Larry Johnson's bronze sculpture? That's the challenge given to Master Chef Jason Tsoris. The four course dinner including three wine pairings begins at 6:00 p.m. with a cocktail reception. The art work, in various mediums, will be on display throughout the evening and available for purchase via a live and entertaining auction following the dinner. There will be several silent auction items available for guests to bid on as well.
Featured artist Len Bielefeldt (lenbielefeldt.com) began taking water color classes at age 12. He paints in all genres, exploring and experimenting in all mediums. "I am deeply touched by my surroundings and the people I know and meet. Each subject tells my heart the medium to use, the size, the style, the colors, and I allow my brushes to follow".
