There’s something quite charming about imbibing on Crown Royal Black complemented by blackberries, kiwi and chocolate-covered strawberries. I am sure Atlanta’s newfangled theater critics and lovers, event planners and lifestyle PR crowd who were on hand at Kai Lin Art Gallery will agree.
The Midtown Atlanta showroom, which showcases diverse art platforms such as canvas, photography, sculptures and handcrafted pieces by local artists, was the venue chosen to host a special reception to kick-off Atlanta’s celebration of 50 years of the beloved masterpiece “Revelations,” the classic and signature choreographic work by Alvin Ailey himself.
Among the crowd were Mark Strachan, vice president of multicultural marketing for Diageo, who presented the evening’s man of the hour, Robert Battle, artistic director designate for Alvin Ailey, with a check for $25,000 to support Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation Inc.’s educational initiatives in the local Atlanta community.
Guests were also treated to a special preview of the short film “Celebrating Revelations at 50,” as well as a Crown Royal Black tasting with a Master of Whisky following the film. –yvette caslin
