Mar. 20-22: An Artist @ the Table: Ben Guerrette & Chef Flor Franco

3 Evenings of Culinary + Artistic Alchemy

Step inside Casa de Flor, transformed into an immersive light, sound, and video art environment by visionary artist Ben Guerrette.

Experience the next chapter of An Artist @ the Table, Vanguard Culture’s signature dinner series pairing visionary chefs with boundary-pushing artists. For four exclusive evenings, Chef Flor Franco will craft a 4-course culinary journey inspired by the immersive artwork of Ben Guerrette, who will transform Casa de Flor into a multi-sensory exploration of the four elements—Water, Fire, Earth, and Air.

Guests will dine within a living artwork of light, sound, and video, where each dish reflects the elemental themes through flavor, presentation, and story. With expertly curated wine pairings from Baja Wine + Food, this unforgettable experience blurs the line between cuisine and art, inviting you to taste creativity in its most elemental form.
