LOCKPORT —
The Kenan Center Gallery will host its fourth “Tea & Tour,” Sunday, providing an afternoon tea that gives art lovers an intimate way to interact with visual artists.
The Tea & Tour will be held in conjunction with the current exhibit, “Three Brushes: Works by Manning McClandish, Michael McManhon and Shirley Murdoch — all Lockport area artists — and will take place from 2 to 4 p.m.
The menu will feature chicken salad in pastry shell, salad with champagne Dijon vinaigrette, baguette, a selection of dessert bars, and a variety of hot teas. The tea portion will be followed by a talk and tour of the works in the gallery by the three participating artists.
Previous Tea & Tour programs have featured Lockport artists Joe Whalen and Ollie McConnell (past students and friends), and Buffalo fiber artist Nancy Belfer with her daughter, author Lauren Belfer (City of Light). Due to limited seating, these events sell out quickly. Cost is $20 per person. Reservations may be taken by phone at 433-2617 or in person at the Kenan Center Business Office, 433 Locust St, Lockport, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. up until today.
