Join us for a private reception on Tuesday, March 4, at 5:30 PM, as Nuwave Gallery presents a curated evening celebrating "The Nature of Now," the latest art exhibition by Chef James Zamory, a Michelin trained chef whose Bellingham-based restaurants Carnal and Estelle have been named "50 Best New Restaurants in America" by Esquire Magazine and "Best Restaurants in Washington" by SeattleMet, respectively.

This show explores the dual meaning of "nature"—both as seasonal, organic materials and as an artistic expression of their essence on canvas. Read a recent Seattle Times piece about Chef James' art here.

• 🍷 Curated wine pairings by Fortuity
• 🍽️ Inspired small bites crafted by Chef James (sample menu below)
