We will provide a wide assortment of artistic supplies and those who attend are welcome to bring things with them. As the name implies, it is a chance to Escape the stress of the week and put forth your creativity.

Culinary Productions' "Midsummer Night's Dream" dinner night and auction

Culinary Productions hosted their "Midsummer Night's Dream" gourmet dinner night and silent auction to benefit SSA and their application for 501c3 status for the Escape Community Art Center on July 22, 2011.  The silent auction and door prize raffle raised $890 and now the application can be processed!  SSA would like to thank CPI and their sponsors Nationwide Tents "N" Events, 5Eleven Palafox, Bond Photographics, Pony Parties of Pensacola, Southern Gardens Florist, Gulf Coast Entertainment App, and Pixie Productions for putting on an amazing night of culinary and visual art, along with the lively sounds of instrumental jazz trio The 18 String Army & Chris Countryman.  The highlight of the night was a visit from mystical creature "Tiny Tim" the unicorn and 7 pixies fluttering around!

SSA would especially like to thank the silent auction donors: artists Austin Garcia & Lum Derigo, SSA President Shane Kuhlman, Ashley Roberts with Rogue Events/Wines for Humanity, & Stephanie Tilley of Emerald Coast Smiles By Design, as well as the door prize raffle donors Dawn Gaines-Taylor of RuSik & Sik Chix, Italy's Finest Pizzeria, Susan's Beauty Salon, World Gym/Sun Shack Tanning, Demetria Bailey LMT, Jeanette Schultz/Lady Adornment Jewelry, Flowerama, and Pensacola Shakespeare Theatre.
