Are you a wine enthusiast? Do you love to see unique art from artists in our region? If so, this is the event for you! Join Studio 23 on April 28th for an evening of fine art and wine called “A Perfect Pairing.”
During this event you will see NEW artwork from six very talented artists. All of these artists have their own unique styles of ceramics, painting, photography, sculpture and mixed media. There will be six wine experts who have paired a wine with each work of art. Hearing how the artwork inspired them to pick the wine will be a unique experience.
A Perfect Pairing is limited to 36 tickets on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets are $40 per person and include the wine tasting, hors d’oeuvres, artist inspiration talks, and an “After Glow.” This event begins promptly at 6 pm and will conclude at 8:30 pm.
We have six unique opportunities to sponsor an artist and beverage pairing. Each sponsorship is $200 and includes two tickets and recognition on signage at the event. We hope that you will consider sponsoring this unique event.

Expand Your Palette is a way to get out of your comfort zone with your friends. This event has been created to help you try some art and try some wine.
Four art stations will be placed around the gallery where you will experiment with printmaking, painting, collage and more. Think of this as an upgraded Sip N’ Swirl painting! You will leave with a piece of art that you can display in your home.
Art is not the only thing you get to expand: you will be expanding your wine palette as well. Tables will be set around the gallery with popular choices of wine, like merlot or chardonnay. When you visit the tables you will also see samples of wine that are not those options, opening your palette to other
flavors that are similar. This is a perfect way to expand your palette!
Light hors d’oeuvres will be supplied by Artigiano.
