Love, arts, and wine were the perfect combination as locals gathered at Winetopia to enjoy The Arts of Fine Wine, an event hosted by Environmental Artist, Charles Washington. Washington debuted his new series, “Touch My Heart,” at the event, in light of Valentine’s Day. It included Valentine’s Day cards, wine glasses, wine boxes, and pins, as well as Valentine gift bags that were sold out in about an hour. Throughout the evening, the crowd was serenaded by Jazz band, Smalls and Friends. Other vendors like Addictive Jewelz by J. Shanel, and Cookie Lee, to name a few, also featured their artistic talents at the event. Washington addressed the crowd toward the end of the night and thanked them for coming. Then he set the mood by introducing spoken work poet, The Fluent One. The crowd fell silent, lending a listening ear to his poem “Prince Charming.” Guests sipped on wine and enjoyed Washington’s artwork displayed on the walls of the wine bar, as they mingled with the artist. The Arts of Fine Wine is a regular event held by Washington at Winetopia, in the Briargrove neighborhood. Keep your eyes open for future posts to get information on future events.
