Audain Artist Dinner Series
Presents Gathered Leaves: Discoveries from the Drawings Vault + Edge Catering
Step into an evening where fine art meets fine dining. The Audain Art Museum invites you to a special edition of our Artist Dinner Series, set against the backdrop of Gathered Leaves: Discoveries from the Drawings Vault – a rare exhibition of masterworks from the National Gallery of Canada.
Savour a seasonal, artfully prepared menu by Edge Catering, designed to complement the refined elegance of the evening. Begin the evening with an exclusive after-hours tour of Gathered Leaves, which showcases rarely seen drawings by Degas, Klimt, Munch, Chagall, Picasso, Kandinsky, and more. Spanning five centuries, these intimate works – ranging from mythological sketches to modern abstractions – offer a profound glimpse into the creative process of some of history’s most influential artists.
Two nights. One extraordinary experience.
Spaces are limited – reserve now to dine among the masters. Tickets available here.
