Impressionist Afternoon Tea + 3 Exhibits at the AGO
About the event
On Sunday, October 18th, join me for an Impressionist Afternoon Tea in the Norma Ridley Members’ Lounge to celebrate the connection between art, atmosphere and indulgence. Inspired by the luminous colours and expressive brushstrokes of *[Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art](https://ago.ca/exhibitions/impressionist-revolution-monet-matisse-dallas-museum-art)* we saw last month, this seasonal Afternoon Tea offers an elegant, leisurely escape into art, conversation and thoughtfully crafted flavours that reflect the beauty and softness of this exhibit. Delicate savoury selections and whimsical pastries are designed to evoke sunlit gardens, countryside picnics and the romance of Impressionism. Since Afternoon Tea includes free admission to the Gallery, we will see more Impressionism art that was not part of our August visit - Reality & Reverie: Canadian and European Painting Beyond Impressionism, Steam: Impressionist Painting Across the Atlantic, and a new exhibit that will open the day before - In Plain Sight: Highlights from the AGO’s Collection of Historic Picture Frames. I have booked a table for Sunday October 18th at 2:30pm, and can add members to it.
COST Adult: $80 + taxes + gratuity = $104.80
