ART of the EAT II will be held at GALLERY ONE EIIIEVEN in the Leesville Main Street District on April 20 at 6:00 pm. This event is an annual fundraiser and purchasing a $25.00 ticket will provide samples of food from 13 countries, access to the open bar, and an evening of great food, music, and Art that exposes the diversity of cultures that abound in Vernon Parish.

Countries represented this year are Peru, Panama, Bulgaria, Italy, Poland, Germany, Lebanon, France, Belgium, Nepal, Pakistan, Myanmar (Burma) and South Korea.  Cooks from those countries will provide not only a taste of their culture but are being encouraged to dress their tables with traditional objects and items for everyone to discuss and enjoy. Foods represented will be hearty, savory, and sweet, and this year many of the dishes will include Louisiana Seafood provided by the Louisiana Seafood Promotions Board and beef ingredients will be provided by RUNNING N CATTLE of Leesville.  Food ingredients will be posted on the tables to assist those with food allergies.

Tickets are limited and should be purchased ahead of the event. Unsold tickets will be available at the door the night of the event. Tickets are on sale and can be obtained from any gallery member, at the gallery on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, or by contacting them through Facebook Messenger or email at galleryoneellleven@gmail.com.

This fundraiser is to support the Arts in Vernon Parish and all proceeds will go to improvements in the Leesville Art Park and GALLERY ONE EIIIEVEN.
