In a socially distanced world, let us draw inspiration together. Join us for the Albright-Knox’s first virtual fundraiser as we celebrate two creative luminaries in a dazzling series. As the year 2020 comes to a close, enjoy virtual evenings amongst friends with cocktails and cuisine while engaging with some of the brightest lights in the culinary and art worlds.

In this first event in the series, Geoffrey Zakarian will design and prepare a state-of-the-art menu based on David Adamo’s Untitled (orange peel), 2014, and Pablo Picasso’s Glass, Vase, and Fruits, 1937, both in the Albright-Knox’s collection. Learn new culinary techniques and discover how to prepare a meal like an iron chef during this live cooking demonstration.

Gourmet culinary packages are locally prepared by the extraordinary team at Current Catering.

Meal delivery has been made possible with the generous support of West Herr Automotive Group.

Assorted delicacies provided by DiCamillo Bakery, celebrating 100 years of artistic confections.
