Local artist designs winning wine poster
Local art student Matt Kauffmann’s entry in the 42nd annual An Evening of Food and Wine Tasting poster contest will be featured on all promotional material.
It features a surreal blue-violet scene with a moon sliver as the bowl of a wine glass over Lake Tahoe. Kauffmann, who will receive his BFA from Sierra Nevada College next spring, received a $250 cash prize and two tickets to the wine event. He describes his original design as “radtastic” and says the recognition from Soroptimist is motivation to keep creating new work.
Soroptimist International South Lake Tahoe’s annual wine tasting is Nov. 2, 6-9:30pm at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe.
This year’s event will showcase more than 18 area restaurants and 30 vintners.
Tickets are $65 each and can be purchased from any SISLT member or online. A $10 discount on a pair of tickets is being offered for purchases through Oct. 1.
Congratulations to Matt for winning the Food and Wine Tasting poster contest. Not only is he a very talented artist, Matt has donated hundreds of hours to improve the face of our community. Matt has been a mentor to many of the students who have help paint pictures on utility boxes through out South Lake Tahoe. He has supported, supervised and guided the students, while teaching them they can have a positive impact in our town. Congratulations Matt and thanks for all that you do to help the youth in our community.
