2010 CulinART will be held on Thursday March 11th, 2010 from 6pm to 11pm at the Hyatt Regency – 208 Barton Springs, Austin TX 78704. This annual event is produced by the event professionals of the Austin Chapter of the International Special Event Society (ISES). The theme for the evening is “Nature’s Labyrinth”. The gala will feature aspects of our planet’s four natural elements – earth, air, fire and water. Guests may look forward to signature cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a four-course plated dinner as well as silent, live, and fine art auctions. A live band, interactive chef demonstrations and whimsical artistry will entertain throughout the evening.
This award winning annual gala brings together the best of the best in the Austin event industry for an ethereal experience that truly defies the imagination. Marquee Event Group and Premiere Party Central will showcase their artistic talent by creating high-end and unique décor & design for this enchanting evening which will set the tone for an incredible four-course dinner produced by an all-star team of acclaimed local celebrity chefs.
