Palette and Palate Stroll Coming July 17th

If you've ever been to an art gallery and thought, "man, this would be so much more fun with steak and booze," then the Palette & Palate Stroll, sponsored by Charleston Magazine, is the event for you.

Ten years ago, several downtown fine art galleries partnered with local restaurants to organize an event that would raise funds for local art programs, and it's been going strong ever since. This year's event will take place on Friday, July 17^th from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

"Attendees will once again stroll through the streets of the historic city, making stops at participating galleries, tasting creations from some of the best local chefs. The event sells out every year and brings a fashionable crowd of art and food enthusiasts out to the streets in the middle of summer when things slow down a bit," says Vladia Jurcova Spencer, the event organizer. 

Chef Craig Deihl of Cypress will participate again in this year's event. 

This year's gallery and restaurant pairings are:

• Anglin Smith Fine Art – Circa 1886
• Atrium Art Gallery – Halls Chophouse
• Corrigan Gallery – Langdon’s + Opal
• Dog & Horse Fine Art – Zero Café + Bar
• Horton Hayes Fine Art – Oak Steakhouse
• John C. Doyle Art Gallery – 82 Queen
• Principle Gallery – Cypress
• Robert Lange Studios – The Drawing Room

Zero Café + Bar will participate again this year. 

Tickets are $45 per person and can be purchased at www.paletteandpalatestroll.com.
