TASTE ART is a series of one-of-a-kind cultural dining experiences that bring together fine art and haute cuisine, presented by The Avenues: Art, Fashion and Design District.

Each Tuesday evening throughout October, The Avenues will host a series of innovative dining events that pair West Hollywood’s premier art galleries and restaurants. “Art Tastings” will take place at participating restaurants with special prix-fixe menus featuring diverse and inventive collaborations between the city’s hottest chefs and art curators, designed for every style, taste, and budget.

Each tasting will consist of a 3 or 4-course menu and wine pairing inspired by a selection of artworks that will be presented in a gallery-like atmosphere. During each event, the curator, chef and sommelier will each present their unique contributions to the menu, providing insight into their philosophies behind the evening’s art, food, and wine selections.

The inaugural season of the TASTE ART series will continue each Tuesday evening through the month of October. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the West Hollywood Library Fund. Tickets available below.
