ART SOIREE by Sandro and Tati - a perfect way to end a busy week in an elegant and memorable fashion!

You Are Cordially Invited to An Exclusive Exhibition COLORS FROM ITALY by EDELWEISS CALCAGNO!

Straight from Italy: Edelweiss Calcagno is an internationally recognized visual artist. Her dynamic, award-wining works and cubist expressionist abstract style got her a nickname of Picasso. Mixed techniques and power of pure colors, of sculpted lines that comes out from the two dimension paintings of Edelweiss make her more than worthy of such a nickname. She is truly second best to the great master. Uniting some souvenirs from Picasso and Gauguin, while adding in a splash of African rhythm to her works, Edelweiss creates true masterpieces.

All the works that will be shown at this event have never before been exhibited and come from her private collection. So, don’t miss this great opportunity and join us this Sunday for this unique ONE NIGHT AND ONE NIGHT ONLY EVENT. Come and appreciate work of this amazing Italian artist, while enjoying the best of the Italian music from the past and present.

All of this and more at the HUDSON Restaurant & Lounge - a HOT SPOT for socializing with friends over distinctively CREATIVE COCKTAILS and GREAT FOOD in a WARM and ELEGANT ATMOSPHERE.

As always our Art Soiree promises to draw the area’s most talented artists and society notables.
