The event is titled Full Bodied speaking to the texture in both art and wine. “Body” describes the texture or weight of a wine in the mouth; full bodied wines have a rich, complex, well-rounded flavor that will linger on the palate. As for the “body” of art our featured artists each employe texture in their pieces to add complexity that will linger in the mind. Some paintings use a thick application of paint known as “impasto” while others use fine, thin layers to achieve their desired effect. Texture becomes tactile in sculpture whether the work is crafted from smooth marble or hand thrown pottery. Two of our featured artists incorporate the literal human figure in their in their pieces brought to life with their exquisite use of texture. Join us for a truly full bodied experience.

"Bouquet" is a term referring to the grouping of esters and aromas of wine. Our paintings and sculptures have a "bouquet" too! We define it as the broad collection of brushstrokes and carved lines resulting a pleasing visual arrangement. As a bonus, we also have many talented and unique floral painters who will be joining us for this event.

As wine breathes, the tannin and flavor profile softens and mellows allowing the overall flavor characteristics to improve. Art also lives and breathes. Our artists fully immerse themselves in the very scene they are creating so that we can breathe in their intention. Landscapes of old barns become so real that the viewer can virtually smell the hay. Paintings of the Lake Michigan shore shimmer with sunshine and the soft breezes of summer. The color and shapes seep from the work into the room, changing the atmosphere, creating richness and character. Art breathes life into your space!
