Join celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck for CuisineArt 2009, the fourth annual food and art event benefiting the multidisciplinary artistic and educational programs of the Walker Art Center.

Mix and mingle with 10 local chefs while observing the creation of their delectable masterpieces. Each chef will select a work from the Walker’s permanent collection to inspire a small plate. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres and drinks, roam the galleries to discover the artworks that inspired each dish, and along with Wolfgang, cast your vote on the artistic merits of your favorite plate.

Following the contest, guests will be treated to a seated dinner prepared by Wolfgang and his team, and then retire to the Sweet Sensations Dessert Lounge.

Buy one. Get one for half-price.

Reservations are $1,250 per person. For every full-price ticket, guests may purchase an additional ticket for $625. Tables of 10 are $10,000.

To RSVP, contact Cody Wolkowitz at 612.375.7642 or e-mail cody.ward@walkerart.org. Be sure to inform us of any food allergies.
