The event will feature delicious gourmet food from around the world, prepared by Vince & Joe’s Executive Chef Neil Cusumano; award-winning wines from premier international vineyards, presented for tasting by Sommelier Ted Ross; and captivating, original artwork by OU faculty and student artists. The artwork will be available for purchase. Entertainment for the evening will feature the Oakland University Jazz Ensemble and “Made in Italy”, an old-world musical trio. In addition to providing a venue for the event, Vince & Joe’s is generously donating all food. Oakland University faculty members are donating their artwork to the cause, and a percentage of the sale of student pieces will benefit the OUAG.
