Curated by Ethos Arts Inc.
Dine under the floating art works created by leading contemporary street artists from across the globe, plus access a special meet and greet with Artlord during a wine dinner experience on February 24th
Costa Mesa, CA: il Girasole is more than a modern Italian restaurant. It is an experiential dining destination that unites artistry from plate to palate. Working closely with Georgeana Ireland, artist and gallery owner of Ethos Arts Inc., the restaurant is now home to an exclusive art installation called “Genuine $treet.” Featuring hard to find and limited edition art works from Artlord, Amber Goldhammer, Vlad Vandamme, Denis Ouch, RS Artist, Pitch Black and Russian Doll. Suspended from the ceiling above the main bar and interior dining space, the art works infuse color and character into the space while encouraging patrons to look up.
On February 24th Gianluca Picca of Cordero di Montezemolo will be making a rare visit to Orange County in order to host an exclusive art and wine dinner at il Girasole. Available for one night only, the five-course tasting menu will celebrate the dialogue between art, wine and cuisine. Artlord will be hosting a special art work reception as a part of the wine dinner experience which will provide a unique opportunity for guests to talk one-on-one with the artist himself.
Current art works on display in il Girasole are listed HERE. Book your reservation to dine under the artwork HERE. Reserve your Art + Wine Dinner experience HERE.
