The Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation is pleased to announce the introduction of Destin's first "Pop-Up Dining" experience, "An Evening in Margaritaville" on Thursday, August 23 at 5:30PM. This concept adds an impromptu and intriguing twist to traditional wine dinners using a themed approach and the element of surprise for the foodie who hungers for space at the table.

Patrons attending "An Evening in Margaritaville" will enjoy live music, a unique painting demonstration by an emerging local artist during a sumptuous moveable feast, prepared by a mystery chef, including a specialty Margaritaville drink and select wines. Artwork and other themed items will be auctioned to benefit the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation's cultural arts and children educational outreach programs for the fine and performing arts.

This Week's Clue -- The Mystery Artist

This week, Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation is pleased to reveal the mystery artist, Andy Saczynski, an emerging, longtime local resident who is making a name for himself in the art community. This award-winning artist recently opened his own gallery in Grayton Beach. Andy says "I turns junk into funk," using reclaimed materials and found objects to create original pieces of art, including recycled musical instruments. Saczynski was voted by festival fans with the coveted "People's Choice Award" at the 2010 Destin Festival of the Arts. Saczynski will be inspiring guests with a live painting demonstration to be auctioned during An Evening in Margaritaville.
