An Art Affair

The last weekend in October, Garden & Gun hosted An Art Affair in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, a destination known for its thriving creative community and Arts Trail. To kick off the weekend, guests enjoyed a dinner at historic Victoria 1883 en plein air, featuring a live painter, a menu by chef Scott Krause of City Market Bistro, and tablescapes that incorporated local artists’ works. The following morning, guests gathered downtown for a mimosa bar with Natalie’s Orchid Island Juices before pursuing works of art at Jane’s Art Center, The Hub on Canal, Arts on Douglas, and Artists Workshop. The experience culminated with a luncheon by chef Andre Compres at Riverpark Terrace and a poetry reading by Chicago poet laureate and Atlantic Center for the Arts artist-in-residence Avery R. Young.
