This year the d'ART Center launches a new series of special events entitled Palates and Palettes Dining with the Artists - a ticketed series of social gatherings, dinners, cocktail parties, pool parties, BBQs, etc. at the homes of d’ART Center’s Board of Directors' and others'. Each event features a d'ART Center Artist or Artists as the guest(s) of honor showing art and connecting with the guests.

Palates and Palettes Dining with the Artists is a creative event providing food, fun and art in fabulous homes around Hampton Roads. The evening's host selects the theme for the evening, the menu and the Artist(s) who they think will suit the occasion.
