It's that time again! Art Feast 2013 will take place on Saturday, February 2, 2013! 
Chesterfield Arts will celebrate their 17th anniversary at this spectacular Art Feast Gala!
And I was invited to have some art fun by decorating a centerpiece for this annual fundraiser!

Each year Chesterfield Arts creates a centerpiece design that they ask select artists to embellish/decorate in his or her style. The finished pieces will be sold during a silent auction at Art Feast. All of the proceeds will go directly to programming needs at Chesterfield Arts.

Over the past few years, Chesterfield Arts has done everything from miniature chairs, hats, foam heads, and even cakes. This year’s centerpiece is a sculptural wine rack made out of PVC pipe

The centerpieces will be viewed by 500 guests! Wowza!

The wine racks are very functional and Chesterfield Arts told artists:
Have fun and remember we at Chesterfield Arts have chosen you to because we enjoy your artwork.
Feel free to translate your style in the design.

So I went to town cutting up maps of the St. Louis area into mosaic-like pieces.
Then I painted the interior surfaces with Golden iridescent rich copper acrylic.
Once that dried, I reorganized and reconstructed the maps onto the exterior surfaces of the wine rack.
So much fun! And functional!

Art Feast 2013 will be from 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. at the Kemp Auto Museum. The event will include surprise performances, lots of artwork from regional artists, the silent auction, and exquisite food and cocktails!

Can’t wait!

What a great way to do the auction- I love what you did with your wine rack! I am not wine drinker but I'd enjoy this one because it is beautiful without any wine on it!
