    The Art of Decadence- Sip & Paint Experience

    Join Tampa-based contemporary artist Sir Nicholas Lucius for an intimate evening of art, indulgence, and uninhibited artistry at Driftlight Steakhouse. Only 20 guests will create a one-of-one mixed-media canvas using curated Lucius imagery, paint, collage, Swarovski crystals, pearls, and luminous embellishments while enjoying Whispering Angel Rosé, artfully crafted cocktails, and chef-curated hors d’oeuvres. The evening also includes a private presentation of original artworks and an exclusive preview of HAUS OF LUCIUS at Art Fair Tampa. No artistic experience is required, and every guest will take home their finished canvas.
