Art Tasting is a community fundraising dinner for all working artists.
It grew out of our desire to combine our love for great food, supporting artists, & building community. Join us for an evening of delicious dinner & awesome art!
Each time we have thrown this event, we've raised over $2,000 for local artists & fed 100 friends, both old & brand new. This year the food will be different, the art will be new, our fundraising goals will be bigger, but the feeling of the experience will stay the same.
With your help, we aim to raise some serious money for artists of all kinds while filling your stomachs with a fabulous meal.

Here's how it works:
When you arrive, a portion of your ticket cost will be returned to you in Play Money. Throughout the appetizers you will enjoy six spectacular stage performances that showcase the diverse talents of the Bay Area community.
These performances will spark conversation & connection as you share a wonderful meal served family style at each table. We encourage you to sit next to your favorite people & across from a stranger, to deepen existing friendships and build new ones.
We hope you make a new friend in the process.
At the end of the night you each choose how to spend your dollars in donation directly to the artist(s) of your choice.
Please invite your favorite people to join us for this event. Only invited people are able to purchase tickets. You decide!
We believe in equitable access to events like this. Please buy a ticket at the highest price you can afford this creates space for everyone to participate.
Remember your ticket comes with a 3 course meal, a live variety show with 6 stage performances, plus $20 back in cash to spend on your favorite artist(s) of the evening.
For this event to be successful, we will need the help of ~12 volunteers to support set up, serving, & clean up. Reach out to Zac via email if you're interested. ([email protected])
PS. This event will almost certainly sell out. Get your tickets early!
BYOB... but NO HARD ALCOHOL.
