Tryon’s own “Three Barefoot Contessas” will explore art on a plate at the Tryon Fine Arts Center Thursday, May 5. Sofia Dow, Carol Ramsey and Renee Duvall will demonstrate and discuss ways to present artful and tasty food – from appetizers to desserts. Participants will not only witness these ladies’ culinary skills, but will be able to sample the dishes which will be paired with appropriate wines.

Because of the nature of this event, seating will be limited to 35 participants (adults only). The program will begin at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. TFAC’s Explore the Arts is a series designed to pique your curiosity and creativity and to explore diversity in the arts. It is held in the Mahler Family Board Room from 7 – 8:30 p.m.

To prepay and reserve a spot, and for further information call Tryon Fine Arts Center at 828-859-8322 or visit www.tryonarts.org. Tickets will also be sold at the door.

This is the final event of the second year the Explore the Arts Series. Look for another series beginning in September. Organizers welcome the community’s suggestions for programs that might interest you.
