Scallop Ceviche

CAC Warehouse Unveiling

In May of 2002, the CAC, a nationally recognized leader in the presentation and support of the contemporary arts , celebrated the addition of 20,000 square feet of space with the opening of its warehouse facility. The center already contains stunning theatre, gallery and atrium space, and the addition of the turn-of-the-century-style warehouse facility makes it ideal for convention and other large-scale events.

 

Joel conceptualized everything from the floral designs and linens to a six foot wine rack sculpted entirely of ice. On site were additional catering services and other entertainment. Joel also provided a new and artistic twist on music entertainment. As guests were serenaded by a solo saxophonist, locally renowned artist Michael Mott rendered a painting of the performance. The entire process was projected on screens, thereby providing guests with a new take on live entertainment. Guests enjoyed passed hors d'oeuvres, such as Seared Duck Breast on a Southern Grit Cake, Scallop Ceviche in Cucumber Cups and Sugar Cane Prawn Rolls. Partnered with the venue's award winning architecture and contemporary artwork, JOEL provided a feast for all of the senses.
