Art-full members are invited to an intimate rooftop aperitivo inspired by the flavors, rituals, and spirit of Italy — and our upcoming adventure to Venice this September.
On Friday, June 12th, we’ll gather on the private Chelsea rooftop for a transportive summer evening of Italian wine, artisanal olive oil, meaningful conversation, and sweeping Manhattan views.
As we prepare for our Art-full Abroad experience in Venice, this special members-only gathering offers a beautiful preview of the culture, craftsmanship, and conviviality that make Italy so unforgettable.
The evening will feature a guided tasting of farm-crafted Italian wines and olive oils curated by Sheila Donahue, Founder of VeroVino. Through each pour and taste, she will bring us closer to the people, places, and practices behind these extraordinary products — offering a sensory window into the spirit of discovery that will shape our time in Venice.
Set against the backdrop of a private Manhattan rooftop, this intimate evening is designed for Art-full women who crave culture, connection, and experiences that feel both elevated and personal. Whether you’re joining us in Venice this fall, curious about the trip, or simply looking for a beautiful way to gather with fellow members, this promises to be a warm, memorable, and transportive evening.
Beforehand, we invite you to spend the afternoon with us at our Summer Friday edition of the Art-full Discovery Walk through Hudson Yards & Chelsea — a thoughtful community experience centered around art, conversation, and discovery. Sign up for the Discovery Walk separately here
