Taste of COLORS is a sensory-rich journey curated by Chef Lemar Farrington and Taste of BLK—a five-course dinner experience where each dish is inspired by the emotion and rhythm of carefully selected COLORS music tracks. Each course is paired with a live performance bringing the flavor of each dish to life with a live set.

Hosted in the lush, art-deco-inspired garden of The Artist Lounge Raleigh, this experience celebrates global Black artistry through cuisine, music, and visual storytelling. From live painting to floral touches, every detail invites guests to slow down and savor the beauty of culture expressed in color. Cash bar available.

YOUR CANVAS: ELEVATED

A Living Canvas — guests are invited to show up as walking works of art—styled in hues that reflect the richness and vibrancy of our culture. Embrace the theme by wearing one monochromatic color or blend multiple shades together, just like strokes on a canvas. Your palette can be bold, soft, or unexpected—as long as it draws from the radiant energy of summer reds, oranges, yellows, and greens.

An intimate, elevated experience for those seeking something truly unforgettable. VIP guests will enjoy early access to the venue, a complimentary drink ticket, and exclusive shuttle service. The evening begins with Petals & Palates — a sensory wine and floral experience presented by Just Bloom It and HERitage Wines. You'll also receive a curated swag bag filled with Black-owned products, and enjoy access to a floral bouquet station and wine tasting — all wrapped in an ambiance where color, culture, and creativity beautifully converge.
