Join us on Saturday, April 25th for an extraordinary afternoon that blends culinary excellence with contemporary art. The experience begins with a 2-course family-style brunch at Manuela, where guests can enjoy seasonal, thoughtfully prepared dishes in a welcoming, communal setting designed to inspire conversation and connection.
Following brunch, head to Hauser & Wirth in Downtown Los Angeles for a private guided tour of two current exhibitions: Destiny Is a Rose: The Eileen Harris Norton Collection and Christina Quarles: The Ground Glows Black.
Destiny Is a Rose presents a rare opportunity to experience a remarkable private collection of works that span significant moments in modern and contemporary art, revealing the collector’s discerning eye and offering insights into the evolution of artistic practice.
The Ground Glows Black showcases Christina Quarles’ latest body of work, a powerful exploration of human form, perception, and identity. Through dynamic layering, improvisation, and innovative techniques, Quarles creates immersive, kinetic compositions that reflect resilience, transformation, and the coexistence of multiple realities.
This thoughtfully curated afternoon blends the culinary and visual arts, offering guests a rare combination of sensory enjoyment, intellectual engagement, and a rich social opportunity for deepened connections.
