Shemer Art Center, located at 5005 E. Camelback Road, will host Art in the Garden, Saturday and Sunday, March 28-29, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Set on Shemer’s front lawn in the sculpture garden, this free, fun, mid-morning and afternoon event will feature a colorful display of garden-themed artist tents with bright umbrellas, live music, food and beverages and a silent auction.
As part of the annual Art in the Garden event is a ticketed Sparkling Tea, Saturday, March 28, 1-3 p.m. A shade structure created of colorful umbrellas sets the tone for this afternoon tea, to be held on the back garden patio. Live music and a menu of scones, finger sandwiches and petite pastries will be complemented by a short program with guest speakers, and of course, tea and a “sparking accompaniment” An award is also presented during the tea for the most artistic garden hat.
Funds raised from the Sparkling Tea will be used to help support the Shemer Art Center’s Summer Camps, held for four weeks in June, to help underwrite the cost of scholarships, instructors and supplies. Find additional details at www.shemerartcenter.org/happenings/events.
