FoodChain and 21c Lexington are joining together to combat food insecurity with HARVEST- a fabulous culinary event for foodies and lovers of fine contemporary art and music – to be held on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th at the gorgeous 21c MUSEUM HOTEL in downtown Lexington.
The evening will begin with a cocktail reception, featuring small bites crafted by the Lockbox culinary team, an open bar featuring curated cocktails by Lockbox mixologists, fine Kentucky bourbon, local beer, and wine. Guests will be treated to live music from the Origins Jazz Series as they explore 21c’s contemporary art museum with current exhibitions, Labor & Materials.
