If you didn’t attend last night’s kick-off, you missed a musical performance by Mauricio Cervera, accompanied by selection of wines and cocktails from his Granvas Wine Bar, in a “Tropical Gaze” evening that kept everyone entertained. And, since Mau donated proceeds from wine sales to OPC’s educational and exhibition programming, it was all for a good cause!
This Summer, Noches de Verano en OPC will feature great artists, poets, and mixologists. So make plans now to join in on the fun every Thursday through August 31 – and bring a friend – or two!
