La Ultima Cena at Allium

Leave a reply

On Saturday, January 23rd, the MDpr team joined forces with Genuine Entertainment Chicago to create an unforgettable dinner party. La Ultima Cena — the final dinner seating on the last Saturday of the month — catered to 100 beautiful guests in a relaxing yet cool atmosphere. Held at Allium Restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel, La Ultima Cena presented attendees with Executive Chef Kevin Hickey’s new winter menu — a four course dinner paired with elegant wine choices. The fashionable guests enjoyed a relaxing evening with a soundtrack by DJ Konsept (Edwin Morales), who added a subtly upbeat ambiance to the evening. There were two celebrations to acknowledge that evening, so two Sugar Hills Bakery cakes were brought out in their honor. And after all the candles were blown out, the post-dinner cocktail party was in full force until the end of the night.

Chief Curator of the Museum of Contermporary Art, Michael Darling takes host of Fear No ART, Elysabeth Alfano, on a private tour at the MCA. Michael speaks candidly and refreshingly personably about how important art is in contemporary society. While they walk the corridors of the museum and throughout the superb exhibit, “Pandora’s Box: Joseph Cornell Unlocks the MCA Collection”, Mr. Darling talks about the artist struggle, the importance of the museum creating a safe space to ask questions, and about the clear, concise and non-convoluted ways we can all relate to art. We also get a one-on-one discussion/explanation of some of the museums most famous pieces by Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg, plus a few art collecting tips for the novice and the connoisseur alike. Enjoy this warm and accessible art lesson and one-on-one private tour.
