Greetings, friends, and hope everyone's having a great friday! After months of promising I'd help Halle with publicity for SYP, I'm finally getting in gear. I'm a Dallas resident of 15 years, SMU graduate, and professional working in business development for a consulting firm.
Last night, I attended the first event for the 2010-2011 year for the Dallas Museum of Art's Junior Associates Circle - or the JA's. The JA's-exclusive event featured free wine and hors d'oeuvres at the DMA's seventeen-seventeen restaurant, followed by our choice of an exclusive screening of a classic Hitchcock film, or a guided tour of a current exhibit, Coastlines, featuring several different galleries of Coastal-inspired pieces spanning several hundred years and artists from across the globe. Further adding to the uniqueness of this exhibit were a handful of pieces with specific "soundtracks" (if you will), which were only audible when standing in front of each piece on a designated circle. The auditory experience, combined with many wonderful works of art, truly made for an excellent Thursday evening and I feel a must-see, before the exhibit closes in August.
You can find out more about the DMA and the Junior Associates Circle on the DMA website, www.dallasmuseumofart.org. If you live in Dallas and don't visit our museum, you're missing out!
Added bonus: after the DMA event, my lovely date and I took the opportunity to check out the new menu at Sangria off Knox. The food was incredible and the waiter took the opportunity to share a couple free tapas: the Spanikopita, and an incredible dessert, the flourless chocolate cake. Also recommended are the bacon-wrapped dates and the sauteed calamari.
Look forward to sharing more soon - hope you folks also had fun if you attended the Blondes Vs. Brunettes charity Happy Hour at Times Ten Cellars, or the DiningDallas Happy Hour at Meddlesome Moth.
Ciao folks,
J
