More about Eat Your Art Out...

Haunted High Tea Eat Your Art Out
Fundraiser for San Diego Visual Arts Network
“Fine dining with fine artists”

Saturday October 20
12:30pm

Featured artists: Albertine Feurer-Young, Nancy Carp, Yesenia Maybee, Matthew Hohlfeld

Model: Zoe Tantrum

*Lunch will be served in the Ruby Room parking lot inside Sterlings Mobile Barber Shop Company's Airstream trailer*

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’ll get “VIP time” with Zoe all to yourself!) You will also confer, deliberate and judge a contest and award the winner. And, for the sweet and sinful finish to your Haunted High Tea, a generous helping of sketching 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 CutiePops plus luscious cream puffs and brownie bites.

Only 6 spots!

$50 per person (admission to our session is included )

Haunting high tea attire encouraged

Please note: There is much to see at Tiki Oasis during the day (for free too!) so come early and enjoy the classic car show, Tiki vendors, the Tiki Oasis Art Show and more before the Dr Sketchy’s session. You’d need to buy a Tiki Oasis evening pass to enjoy any of the festivities and entertainment that happen after 5pm by the pool. The evening passes sell out so get them while you can!
