THE MENU is a series of 10 original paintings that are surreal interpretations of the items from the Eclectic Love brunch menu. Eclectic Love is a new brunch restaurant located at 7 Main St. East in Kingsville Ontario, in the former location of the popular Dutch Restaurant.
There will be a celebration and reveal of THE MENU art exhibit on July 14 from 7pm – 11pm. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
The Eclectic Love restaurant has installed a gallery wall and is working with local artists to host revolving exhibits. THE MENU is the fourth exhibit to be held in the space since its opening in September 2022.
The Eclectic Love brunch and beverage menu was originally designed by culinary artists Jeff Wiper and Jilda Farias.
There have been a few culinary creations designed by Chef Phil Renaud that will have their surreal interpretations featured in THE MENU art exhibit as well.
The original paintings in THE MENU art exhibit were created by local Kingsville and Pelee Island artist Carolyn Hardy.
Carolyn has been working with Eclectic Love by entertaining guests during the Friday brunch service with live painting performances.
Every painting in THE MENU art exhibit was painted live before a casually dining audience.
The much-anticipated celebration on July 14 from 7pm -11pm at Eclectic Love will give the public a chance to view THE MENU art exhibit in its entirety.
This event is hosted by Eclectic Love. More information about this great new restaurant can be found on their Facebook page, or by stopping in and enjoying a delicious brunch.
