VEFA Gallery – Salvador Dali Surrealism Dinner - Inside Dali’s Dream By Contributor Lynne La Fleur
One night Only - Wednesday, May 14th 6:00 to 9:30pm – reservations required maximum 38 guests
There is always something extra-ordinary happening at VEFA Gallery and this Wednesday, May 14th is no exception. Inspired by the theme of the exhibition, VEFA offers a culinary detour of the imagination inspired by Salvador Dali’s 1974 cookbook Les Diners de Gala, an epicurean delight drawn from the master himself.
This is an exclusive experience featuring a five-course dinner with wine pairings guided by culinary historian Carolyn Tillie for an evening of immersive storytelling, music and surrealist food history surrounded by the surrealist paintings of the featured artists.
Reserve your seat at the table now at “vefagallery.com/event” (a portion of the proceeds will benefit Collage - a Place for Art & Culture).
The Exhibition - April 5, 2025 to May 24, 2025 - Surrealism emerged in 1924 with the writings of André Breton as a rejection of Rationalism. No artist embodied the signature of this movement more than the eccentric Salvador Dali.
SURREALITY 101 – The Surrealist Legacy: From Automatism to Algorithm leads us down a Wonderland rabbit hole of imagination and curiosity. This exhibition features a carefully curated collection of 12 artists whose dreamlike images recall the revolutionary spirit of the early Surrealists with the current technology-driven movement of the 21st century.
