Show off Your Culinary Expertise
ParticipateHere is How it Works
Art in I’on features some of the most beautiful home kitchens in I’on. Each home is staged with a Chef to demonstrate their technique and provide tastings for ticket holders to enjoy. Participating Chefs have the opportunity to network and attract future business for their restaurant or catering company. Chefs donate their food and foodservice to the event.
Calling All Chefs – Art in I’on is scheduled for April 13, 2024
The date is set…for the eagerly awaited Art in I’on. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, April 13, 2024 from 3:00-6:00 PM. This fundraiser will feature several of the most beautiful homes and art studios in I’on. Each stop will have artists set up to show and sell their work throughout the home while Chefs demonstrate their technique and provide samples of their recipes in the kitchen.
The worthy beneficiary of this great event is Charleston Pro Bono Legal Services which serves the low income community with legal aid. Their network of local, volunteer attorneys reaches over 800 people in our community each year.
We hope you will consider taking part in this year’s program. If so, you will be assigned to a fabulous island home where up to 350 patrons will tour the homes, buy art and sample tastings. In exchange for your service in providing food samples for up to 350 patrons, you will be treated as an in-kind sponsor. Your business will be featured in advertising, press releases, posters, event brochures, online and event day signage. You will also have the opportunity to distribute your own printed materials during the event. We have begun advertising for the event so the sooner you commit the more advertising you will receive!
Would you be interested in contributing to our gift collection? We are asking for 12 donated items representing your work. These items would be arranged in a well curated display to distribute to our participating homeowners and top sponsors. One gift collection will be used as a raffle for additional fundraising and promotion of the event. In the past, artists have provided notecards, ornaments, prints, original miniature works, candles and packaged food items for the gifts. You would be required to deliver the materials to the Charleston Pro Bono offices by March 29, 2024. Participating chefs will receive extra social media marketing and website presence to honor their contributions.
