ABOUT FOOD AS ART
FOOD AS ART at Bell Harbor– April 18, 2009

A fabulous fundraiser for an even better cause, presented by The Safeco Corporation. Food as Art 2009 netted over $80,000 to support activities for our 10th Anniversary season. If you’d still like to contribute, please make a donation online or by phone to Ghida Sinno at (206) 323-4032. Thank you!
Back for its 6th year, Food as Art showcases the considerable culinary talents of African-American executive chefs and restaurateurs from the Puget Sound area and allows you to support CD Forum's upcoming tenth anniversary season. In addition to fabulous dining and complimentary wine service, guests will enjoy cocktails, a new dessert auction, and an auction featuring travel, dining and art.
