BLU presenting amazing tastings at Ella W. Richardson Fine Art

We are very excited to announce the 2011 date for the 6th Annual Palette & Palate Stroll presented by the Charleston Fine Art Dealers’ Association. This year, the event will take place on Friday, July 15 from 5:30 to 7:30pm. The exclusive food and art event showcases high-quality art works from nationally renowned artists paired with excellent local fair prepared by celebrated Charleston chefs.

The Palette & Palate Stroll is a fun progressive arts event that features two art disciplines that naturally complement each other. We knew that this event will attract new faces to Charleston and our galleries and are very pleased that tickets for the event remain in strong demand. Originally, our goal was to reach out to our community and give local restaurants unique art venues to present their works of culinary art. Today, we can say that the event grew into one of the most anticipated local arts events!

Foodies and fine art connoisseurs stroll through the historic streets of downtown Charleston, sampling tastings from some of the finest local restaurants in the beautiful setting of prestigious Charleston galleries.  There is art for every collector’s budget and taste at Charleston’s 6th Annual Palette & Palate Stroll, including works of the Charleston Renaissance from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to contemporary art from more than 100 artists as well as photography, sculpture and glass art.

For more information, visit www.cfada.com. Tickets will be available for sale shortly!
