It’s here, the artistic culinary event you’ve been waiting for! Showcasing the talents of local area chefs and artists, Cuisine des Artistes is a dinner happening. In this rare union, gastronomical, visual, theatrical and literary artists join forces to create a feast for the senses featuring the most delicious edible art. With entertainment by performing artists, design by visual artists, and food created by culinary artists, Cuisine des Artistes is more than an event, it’s a phenomenon.

 

Don’t be late, as you won’t want to miss a single minute of the cocktail hour featuring artist-produced appetizers, presented by the artists themselves in the serene garden of the fantastic Meridian House. A delectable main course of artist-chef team creations unfolds in the main ballroom and as you savor the delicacies you’ll be introduced an unsung hero of the arts selected by our board of directors to receive the Herb White Award. The short ceremony will be followed by artistic desserts and coffee and more hobnobbing with artists and art lovers in the garden. With eclectic entertainment including poetry, musical and performing artists laced thoroughout the evening, Cuisine des Artistes is always highlight of the season and a terrific way to usher in the spring.

 

This year's recepient of the Herb White Award will be Don Russell, director of Provisions Library, and long time Washington arts advocate and supporter.
