One of the loveliest Brown County Art Gallery traditions is the annual Victorian Tea, a fundraiser for the Brown County Art Gallery Foundation.
For almost two decades, mothers and daughters, girlfriends and sisters, and all who appreciate an April afternoon of beautiful flowers, delicate tea service, and wonderful food, all surrounded by beautiful art work, have gathered for this event.
The Gallery owns a large collection of antique tea cups and tea pots which are set on gorgeous tables decorated by volunteers who are specialists in tea service and are every bit as creative as any artist. Just walking into the Gallery after a long cold winter brings joy to all who come.
The 2013 Annual Victorian Tea is pleased to feature the ever popular and entertaining Chef Wendell Fowler as the guest speaker.
Chef Wendell is a well known food philosopher, CBS TV Host ("Eat Right Now with Chef Wendell" segment on WISH TV 8), award winning, syndicated food columnist, cookbook author, and entertainer. He will be sharing his tips and knowledge on nutrition and healthy eating using fresh, local foods.
Chef Wendell will be bringing a number of his popular cookbooks available for purchase...please, call the Gallery to make reservations for this popular event.
