THE INTERSECTION OF ART AND WINE

On Thursday March 1, we hosted the video production and recording session for THE INTERSECTION OF ART AND WINE, a new installment of The Grapes Unwrapped wine program created and hosted by local wine educator Hank Zona, with videography by Michael Calabrese.

This episode is part of a greater collaboration between GAS Gallery And Studio, Hank Zona (The Grapes Unwrapped) and Kevin Lynn (Wine Sisterhood), in which the topics of Art and Wine are discussed and examined within the context of a two-part program comprised of a live panel-discussion and tasting, followed by an exhibit and reception.

The Featured artists taking part in this project are Lyman Dally, Kevin Lynn, André Mack and Tara O'Leary, with an appearance by Felix Sockwell.

During the panel-discussion event, which is designed to engage the artists in a conversation and dialogue of the wines as well as related wine artwork, such as wine labels and other works inspired by wine or containing wine themes, attendees will have the opportunity to sample the same wines that the artists are sampling and discussing, thereby becoming a part of and being connected to the immediate creative process.

The exhibit and reception will contain works which were commissioned, created and/or produced for distribution as the actual wine labels. The Grapes Unwrapped video programs/segments can be seen on YouTube, so check them out.
