Just in time for Valentine’s Day and beyond – come celebrate Love and experience the perfect pairing of creatives…Art as flavorful and stimulating as the Cuisine.  If you can’t make the opening, see the exhibition at your convenience and have a delicious dinner or after-theater drinks and toast to Love all month long!

The artist will donate 20% of proceeds of her sales to The Gabriela Mistral Foundation which is a 501c(3) tax-exempt organization providing monetary grants to help children and seniors in need in Chile.  For more information go to: http://gabrielamistralfoundation.org/web/
