ARTFUL FIVE COURSE WINE PAIRING DINNER

SPAA’s Artful Five Course Wine Pairing Dinner, benefiting the arts, will be held on October 16, 2019 at The Birchwood in downtown St. Pete.  The Birchwood will again graciously host the fifth annual event, celebrating the arts in St. Pete – including culinary arts!  This five course dinner will serve beautiful dishes celebrating our artistic community.  Each of the courses will feature a specially selected estate wine. 

During the evening the artist recipient of the second annual Jim Rolston Memorial Professional Development Grant will be announced.  Our board of directors and Jim's family and friends established this fund in his memory, feeling that it is fitting tribute to his belief that an artist’s journey is never over – there is always more to experience and learn.
