It was the inaugural event of the RiverCenter Ambassadors Network, a group of volunteers that wanted to encourage new patrons to attend the RiverCenter's programs. There was a tour of the RiverCenter that I'd bet 99 percent of the people had never seen.
The event was a great success.
Now, the Columbus Museum's Columbus Contemporaries (the membership group for young professionals) and the Greater Columbus Georgia Young Professionals (a program of the Greater Columbus Georgia Chamber of Commerce) have collaborated to do "Corks and Canvas."
This is a wine event that blends art and wine in an attempt to promote community involvement and cultural awareness among young professionals.
It's a good way to get people involved.
"Corks and Canvas" will be 5:30-7:30 p.m. next Tuesday at the Columbus Museum, 1251 Wynnton Road. There will be a wine tasting and light hors d'oeuvres from Meritage Cafe.
There will also be a private tour of the museum's exhibit, "The 2008 Columbus Biennial" by Kristen Miller Zohn, the museum's curator of collections and exhibitions.
If you haven't seen the exhibit, I really recommend you see this exhibit before it closes. I think it closes in two weeks. This exhibit features current work of some outstanding contemporary Southern artists.
This is a very affordable event. It's $10 before 5 p.m. Friday. That's when you need to make a reservation because space is limited.
There will be a very limited number of tickets at the door for $15.
If you want to know more about this event, call Lane Riley at 706-748-2562, ext. 542.
