Poetry Reading and Artists Talk

Award-winning poet Anya Silver and artist Jeanie Tomanek joined creative forces with a collaborative art event at dk Gallery in Downtown Marietta. This was not the first time the two creative power players have worked together. Silver has published two books of poetry, including I Watched You Disappear, featuring the works of Tomanek. The gallery crowd enjoyed the ambient sounds of experimental musician, Jeff Stonehouse, who was inspired to write a new song after seeing Tomanek’s painting titled, “Become, Becoming and Shall Be.”

DTC After Dark

On the brisk evening of October 9, Double Take Cafe hosted its inaugural DTC After Dark. The halloween-themed event offered a pairing of candlelight and Chef Stoney’s decadent desserts. Five tasting courses of delectable treats including Rose and Vanilla Mousse with crystalized rose petals and dark chocolate soup with spiced merlot ice cream. The next DTC After Dark is scheduled for the evening of December 12. The Winter Holiday Edition will consist of 5 tasting courses of favorites including Chef Stoney’s twists on sticky toffee pudding and s’mores. Be sure to inquire early, as the inaugural event was a sellout. Note: this is an adults (18+) only ticketed event with limited seating available.
