Sunday in Color: An Afternoon of Art & Conversation at The Beverly Hills Hotel

Join **Women of Culture, CURA Art and Ackerman Studios** on **Sunday June 7th** for a private, invitation-only afternoon of art, culture, and connection at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel. **[To attend, complete registration here](https://luma.com/lfzn6c8i)** ​This special Los Angeles gathering will feature a curator-led walk-through of ***Susan Vecsey and Yvonne Thomas: [A Conversation on Color](https://www.dorchestercollection.com/los-angeles/the-beverly-hills-hotel/art?utm_source=luma)*** with The Beverly Hills Hotel curators **Lily Ackerman** of Ackerman Studios and **Liza Shapiro** of CURA Art. Presented by Berry Campbell Gallery in collaboration with CURA Art and Ackerman Studios, the exhibition brings together two extraordinary artists across generations in a striking exploration of color, abstraction, mood, and visual rhythm. ​Blending Susan Vecsey’s luminous, meditative compositions inspired by landscape and light with Yvonne Thomas’ bold and expressive postwar abstractions, the exhibition creates a fascinating dialogue between contemporary and historic approaches to color and form. Guests will gain unique insight into the artistic vision behind the exhibition while experiencing the works in an intimate and conversational setting usually reserved only for hotel guests. ​Following the tour, we’ll gather for drinks and bites on the hotel grounds — an elegant and timeless backdrop for meaningful conversation, new connections, and a quintessential Los Angeles afternoon. ​Thoughtfully curated for women who love art, beauty, design, and intellectually enriching experiences, this event offers the perfect blend of cultural discovery and social connection. ​**What makes it special:** * ​A rare opportunity to experience a private, curator-led walkthrough of a stunning exhibit set in an iconic location * ​An intimate, invitation-only opportunity to meet fellow intellectually curious women with a creative soul ​**Event Details:** Sunday, June 7th **3:00 PM** \| Private Exhibition Tour **4:00 PM** \| Drinks\, bites & conversation on the hotel grounds ​**Location:** the Beverly Hills Hotel 9641 Sunset Boulevard \| Beverly Hills\, CA **[To attend, complete registration here](https://luma.com/lfzn6c8i)** **Admission:** Complimentary to attend by invitation only. *One complimentary welcome drink included; all additional drinks and food to be purchased and paid separately on-site.* **Note about tickets/ RSVP's:** * RSVPs on Meetup do NOT count as official registrations for this event, and the RSVP count on Meetup may not reflect the actual number of attendees.
