Dear friends,
I am pleased to invite you to a new project very dear to my heart. Please join me next Friday at the first of unique events featuring three very talented photographers, as well as music and food, specially selected to match the theme of each artist’s work. Th e evenings will be at Salon des Artistes at the Fine Arts Building on 410 S Michigan.
Tomorrow is the last day for Early Bird Tickets, Regular Tickets sale will start on April 1. Visit www.anigogova.com/an for information and to reserve your seats.
“Ani Gogova and Friends” series is inspired by the tradition of the salons of the Belle Epoque, where important public figures, artists, writers, and musicians would gather with friends and admirers to exchange ideas, share their art, and inspire each other while creating lasting memories of decadent evenings (think Gertrude Stein’s salons in Paris where you would find on any given night Picasso, Hemingway, the Fitzgeralds, Matisse, Dali, and the likes).
An experience like no other in the city, our evenings will seduce all your senses by presenting the art of fascinating visual artists, delicious music from the classical repertoire, and unique culinary experiences designed to match the theme of the art. For years, I have dreamed about showing the work of my uber-talented friends and collaborators in an intimate setting in this type of multi-sensory experiences.
