Fall Family Style Dinner

guests

 

Each fall, we cook for the fundraiser Silverlake Conservatory of Music where art is silently auctioned off as live music plays, always with a performance from The Red Hot Chili Peppers. See other years here and here. This is their 15th year bringing music lessons to children from all backgrounds, and they are just about to launch a brand new space designed by Barbara Bestor which is going to be so inviting and fun.

This year, family style dinner for 350 took place in Frog Town with menus designed around the theme of much of the highly coveted artwork. My favorite was a watercolor by Gus Van Sant, and also, of course, a whimsical water color by our friend Jon Huck.

Cocktail hour included a full bar and spicy margaritas with tray passed platters of these vegetarian appetizers. With the beginning of fall upon us, the dinner reflected the changing of the seasons as you see below:
