Our SDVAN Facebook page Fusion Glass Palette 2 Palete Facebook page Michael Campbell's Synergy Fundraiser Album Kira Cabrillo Corser's Facebook page for Synergy Bash Irene de Watteville's view of P2P Synergy Arts Foundation and San Diego Visual Arts Network are joining together to celebrate their 10th anniversary as non-profit organizations serving the San Diego arts community. This performance event begins with a VIP patron Eat Your Art Out sit down dinner with cocktails and wine, offering a delectable five-course meal. Each table, seating 10, will be designed and uniquely themed by a team of four artists who will be seated with patrons. Centerpieces and other artworks created for the event will be for sale or auctioned. At 9 pm doors will then open for the Blanks 2 Beauty Bash guests. Delicious desserts will be served and the silent auction of 10 inch square artworks created by over 150 local artists will close at 10 p.m. A food-related “made in San Diego” art boutique, dancing to an fabulous live music by Bviolin & Mystic Groove Ensemble, late night d.j. and many other magical surprises will make this an unforgettable. This fundraiser will be held at the open warehouse of Feeding America SD which will be transformed for the evening into an amazing themed party place. Feeding America uses hundreds of palettes, feeding 73,000 children, families and seniors it feeds a week. The artist palate is our way to give back to the volunteers of that wonderful facility by making décor to inspire and motivate them in their continuing quest to ease the hunger in our community. Synergy Arts Foundation, collaborating with Young Audience, is providing an after-school art education project to 150 students at Kimbrough Elementary School who are just a few of the numerous recipients of Feeding America SD. Proceeds from the evening will benefit SAF's arts education program as well as ongoing programs of SDVAN and SAF.

Press Release Join us for an afternoon of hauntingly beautiful fun - unexpected and out of the ordinary – all in the spirit of high tea and Halloween. Part one of this treat-filled jaunt starts with lunch and delicious libations. Talented artists will guide you in the creation phase of your journey, where you will engage in discussion about criteria for judging an anti-art school contest. If you desire, you will have an opportunity to make an award with your very own hands and imagination (supplies provided, of course). Part two of your frightfully delightful adventure takes place at a Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School San Diego session where you will experience what it's like to be immortalized in sketch form, joining the gorgeous model who will instruct you on the finer points of posing. You will confer, deliberate and judge the contest and award the winner. And, for the sweet and sinful finish to your Haunted High Tea, a generous helping of sketching (you can try your hand if you like) and masterpieces of another kind: luscious petit fours with a twist and other tiny tea treats. Lunch starts with nibbles, including prosciutto and melon skewers and quirky quiches, followed by gourmet sandwiches and a caprese salad. Tea time treats feature teapot-shaped cake pops by Cutie Pops plus luscious cream puffs and brownie bites.

Absurd hats have a very strange effect on people who don them. The ring of Chinese men surrounding a pin cushion attached to a head band, exotic Tibetan head dresses, soft stuffed lobster felt creations, a rubber flying pig on a straw fedora allow inhibitions to vanish, smiles to form and gaiety to prevail. And no one was concerned with questioning why for an entire evening of delights and surprises. Indeed, the stomach was the main focus of the night as course after course of whimsical and delicious sustenance was elegantly presented by an array of bedecked servers who cavorted to a range of music from Edith Piaf to accordion polka. Our napkins were printed with instructions demanding that since we had accepted this invitation, it was our duty to be amusing and we happily complied. Each soup dish arrived with a floating rubber duck. The shrimp were present skewered on the body of a half fish/half women sculptured platter, the quail heads were replaced by ceramic versions but so coquettish that one almost blushed to see the bird revealed on a bed or cous cous and a tangine of vegetables and meats. Pallet cleaners were frequent including a toothbrush full of minted cream projected from a ceramics pair of luscious lips and tiny blueberry filled glass slippers adorned with even smaller ball dress clad ladies. The guests Larry and Debra Poteet, Ann (who went home with the first edition of an Art Meets Fashion silk scarf made by Valentine Viannay and Rosemary KimBal) and Tom Sergott, Gene Summ and Ursula, Constance White, Anita Edman and Beth Smith were whirled away to a land inside Irene de Watteville’s head. This is a vacation destination of truly unique dimension.
Never did Take Out food look as good as when displayed in ceramic devil and angel dishes by Cheryl Tall that captivated your heart. Never was paella consumed more passionately then in Deanne Sabeck’s platters. Never did fish have such a great resting place as in the fish kabob mother ship designed by Jeffery Laudenslager. And never was the search so delightful for sweetmeats hidden in the repurposed sculptures of Joseph Bennett. The guest, James Robbins, Catherine Sass, Ralyn and Nate Wolfstein and Lauren Carrera kept the evening lively which was not difficult as the party was hosted by the charming Eli Hans. Both this venue and the LOST dinner at Lauren's were held at homes of great style and grace. back to top
Menu: Shrimp Ceviche on Corn Tortillas Chips, Shrimp with Chile Negro Sauce, Guacamole, Refried Beans. Spanish Rice, Flan Napolitano illustrated by Julia San Roman Suggested $50 minimum donation per person for the evening dinner and activity. Only 6 places available for this intimate party in support of San Diego Visual Arts Network Please RSVP to 760 943 0148 or patricia@SDVisualArts.net and then send your check payable to San Diego Visual Arts Network to 2487 Montgomery Avenue , Cardiff by the Sea, CA 92007 The LOST dinner by the side of Lauren’s pool in La Jolla, was tropical from the leis at the door to the fruit on the final table where guest were invited to design their fantasy desserts. The food was lovingly prepared by Tania Alcala using recipes of her mother for this absolutely authentic Mexican fare. Art works by Rosemary KimBal, Becky Guttin and the hostess and the chef were displayed. Tania even serenaded Alice and Doug Diamond, Karen Fox and Harvey Ruben, Cherie Halladay and Dave, Larry and Debra Poteet, Naimeh Tahna and Rod Lingren who shared an evening of stimulating art talk. back to top The Exquisite Corpse refers to the Dada word game played at the end of the meal at Dave Ghilarducci’s (his show opens at Colosseum Fine Arts on Nov 7) which was filled with surprises and irreverence. Kevin Freitas greeted us as a demented soldier with a bird nest on his helmet. Kyle Forbes was the designated host a la Joel Grey in Cabaret but Dave Ghilarducci was the chef and ringleader. A live chicken, a lady in red who disappeared, chocolate nuts and bolts and one course of feathers were presented along with delicious edible fare. The evening was graced by the lovely Diane Hook, Christine Freitas and Michele Guieu (the artist recently nominated for the SD Art Prize as an emerging artist) all wearing chapeaus of exquisite design by Christine. I guess you had to be there to appreciate the absurdity of watching Alex Ghilarducci (our mute muse for the night) sprinkling water from a can over Michele as she read a Breton poem in French. The ultimate gesture came half way through the evening when Dave reappeared with only half his beard and mustache. Guest Irene de Watteville, Patty and Dave Smith and Judy Spuris left with cast aluminum baby arm serving spoons and forks and “Fuck Dada, Let’s Dance” T-Shirts.
