Step into the enchantment. Experience the lore, history, and mystique of Don Drumm Studios and Gallery while allowing your senses an opportunity to relish in new experiences and replenish your personal energy.

For one evening only, the gallery will be transformed into the "Salon de Lumiere." Evoking the culture, charm, and ambience of the historic French Salon, the select few that attend will experience a cultural gathering to indulge the senses and peak one's intellectual and artistic curiosity.

At the Gallery's hosted "Salon de Lumiere", you can acquaint yourself with the following:

• A wondrous glimpse into the inner realm of the gallery
• A welcome gift of a Don Drumm piece of jewelry
• Guided shopping experiences with hand-made fine art crafts
• Tour Don Drumm’s one-of-a-kind works collection
• Sample hand-made mocktails and hors d’oeurves
• See if the Fates select you to bring home a Don Drumm Sculpture - this opportunity is available for one fortunate soul
• Select from one of four self-care expression activities in which to participate and receive a commemorative gift
  

Your evening will begin at a quarter to seven and concludes at half past nine. The date of this event is Saturday, March 22nd, 2025. Tickets for this event are being sold by the type of main activity you choose.

For sixty years, Don and Lisa have curated their creations into a cherished personal gallery. During this event, guests will be escorted by the Gallery’s Aluminum Sculpture Manager, Toni Billick. Toni, who has an MFA from the University of South Florida, will share stories about the pieces and how Don’s work has progressed throughout his life. These tours will be scheduled in small groups of 4-5 people throughout the evening.

As part of your ticket, you can select an activity to complement your evening and personality. These activities will be conducted individually, i.e. a one-on-one session. After each activity, you will receive a commemorative gift to help you proceed on your self-care journey.

Tasseography, The Art of Tea Leaf Reading: Patterns are a part of our lives. Discerning and recognizing patterns can help you gain insight into your own psyche. This symbolic understanding of your personality can help guide you through common life events and reflect on your emotions and reactions to the world around you.

Oracle reading: While these readings can be used to look to the future, they are also useful tools to boost your inspiration and creativity. Unlike Tarot cards with strict definitions and centuries of symbolic meanings, the flexibility of this type of reading with oracle cards leads to personal insight and encourages the flow of creativity.

Crafting a Candle Garden: Candles symbolically radiate hope, passion, and mystery. For this activity, you will craft a resplendent wax succulent garden atop a candle. Each wax succulent has been hand-crafted and specially colored for this evening's event. Choose from a wide selection to arrange on a 3-wick candle garden to bring light and intrigue into your home.

Floral Collage Presented in a Picture Frame: One contribution from the French salon that has had a lasting impact on the decor in many homes is that of a salon wall. With this activity, you'll be guided to embellish a Don Drumm print that you can use to start or add to your own salon wall. All accoutrements needed are provided and include a frame, dried flowers, and specially selected quotes to express the sentiment that speaks to you.

In addition to your tour and chosen activity, "Salon de Lumiere" will have a plethora of activities, and opportunities to explore and uncover more about the world of art. To assist you in discovering all that the salon has to offer, there will be guides helping you engage your senses for self-care and to immerse yourself in an evening of charm and mystique. We at Don Drumm Studios look forward to enjoying this evening with you!
