Fresh, Local Food & Art in an Evening to Benefit Guilford Art Center
Create 2011 at Guilford Art Center

• Guilford Art Center benefits from a Great Evening of Food, Art & Music

Guilford Art Center announces its second annual springtime benefit evening on campus filled fantastic food, great art and dance-able music: Create 2011, on Saturday June 4, 6:30-11pm. 

Create guests will savor fresh, local, plentiful cuisine by New Haven's Caseus Fromagerie & Bistro, as well as a great selection of wines, beer, and signature cocktails. Music by the Shiny Lapel Trio will have the crowd swaying and dancing. The Center's Mill Gallery will feature Poser, a contemporary juried exhibit of art works in all media that explore the notion of artist, model and self presentation. Guests can also explore the Center's campus throughout the evening, as faculty artists will be working in their studios demonstrating stone carving, blacksmithing, pottery, metalsmithing, painting, weaving and more.

Caseus will offer a sumptuous and plentiful menu of fresh and locally-sourced American-style favorites. Dishes will feature ingredients from their premier shop and bistro, including exclusive cheeses, charcuterie, preserves, oils, vinegars and spices artisanally produced locally and abroad from the world's most unique and gastronomically significant countries.

The Shiny Lapel Trio is the hugely popular "tiny little band with a great big sound," keeping it simple with just three instruments, and velvety smooth vocals and playing infectious, dance-worthy classics from "Steppin' Out" to "Swing Brothers Swing." 

Dress for "Create2011" is casual. Don't miss this unique experience and this opportunity to support the arts in the local community. Tickets are $125 per person.
