Shilling Canning Co. ‘Taste of Chesapeake’ Dinner @ Shilling Canning Co.
Nov 18 @ 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Navy Yard favorite Shilling Canning Company and executive chef Reid Shilling will bid the harvest season farewell with its “Taste of the Chesapeake” dinner this month in collaboration with fellow Baltimorean Spike Gjerde.

The dinner kicks off with Chef Gjerde on November 18 for a two-night event spotlighting Jon Shaw’s Karma Farms based in Maryland. Similar to previous collaborative dinners, Shilling and Gjerde will design a menu together using local and seasonal ingredients from within the Chesapeake Bay region and a portion of the dinner’s proceeds will benefit a charity of Gjerde’s choice.

“I’m thrilled to welcome Spike to our kitchen. I’ve been such a fan of his and I’m fortunate that I had the chance to work at A Rake’s Progress when it first opened,” says Shilling. “We’re happy to have Spike back in the district this month.”

Tickets are $125 (price includes gratuity) and reservations for November 18 or 19 can be made on Resy. Menus will be released the week of the event on shillingcanning.com and a beverage / wine pairing will be available as well.  The restaurant will follow all CDC guidelines with socially distant table settings.

The Art League Patron’s Show @ Online
Feb 20 @ 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM

The Art League’s Patrons’ Show Goes Virtual for 2021

This year The Art league presents Patron’s Show 2021: Virtual Edition!, an online version of the perennial favorite that art lovers from near and far can safely attend via Zoom on Saturday, February 20, from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m.

The Patrons’ Show is the League’s biggest fundraising event of the year and offers seasoned and new art collectors an opportunity to select from over 600 works of original fine art donated by Art League and Torpedo Factory artists. For each ticket drawn, ticket holders acquire artwork valued anywhere from $225 to thousands of dollars.

The Patrons’ Show is now open for viewing during regular Gallery hours: Wednesday through Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday noon to 5:00 p.m. It is anticipated that the first two weekends of February will be busiest, so during this period there will be scheduled and timed viewing slots to ensure a safer environment.

Art lovers can also view the Patrons’ Show virtually on Flickr, and check back periodically to see what is added as we get closer to the show. Art Thief, the exclusive mobile app of the Patron’s Show, is available to download free on iOS devices. It lets you see all of the artworks and list and rank your favorites.

This year ticket holders make and submit a list of 75 or more of their top picks into an artwork list portal that the Patrons’ Show algorithm will pull and match with a ticket holder’s choice when their name is called on February 20. Selections can be edited and resubmitted up until the event begins.

The 2021 Patrons’ Show will broadcast live from The Art League Gallery. Don’t miss your chance to gain fine art while supporting a great non-profit organization and community of artists! Tickets are on sale until they sell out.
