Start your holidays with visual glory by coming and partaking in The Secret Wall “Reveal”. Mila Sketch has created three additional pieces of artwork for The Soil of the Soul; The Time Machine, The Age of War, and The Evolution of the Corkscrew. Sip on a Rum Ruby or enjoy a glass of wine that has been specially chosen by Somm Wings (Julia Dixon) and listen to the groovy tunes of a DJ. Get your holiday shopping completed in our spectacular art boutique with a family of 65+ local artists (ceramics, jewelry, bath & body care, unique totes/handbags, prints and so much more).

The Soil of the Soul exhibition is a line of artworks dedicated and inspired by wine and the wine community. Wine has a long history linked to culture, art, religion, territory, and people; it expresses so much more than just a Terroir. People enjoy when a wine tells a story. The desire to improve one’s knowledge can be a solo journey or enhanced with the tutelage of a sommelier.

In creating The Soil of the Soul, Mila worked intimately with the sommelier, Julia Dixon, of Somm Wings. Julia guided Mila in understanding the nuances of wine and Mila became a passionate wine lover. Julia’s love for wine inspired Mila’s The Soil of the Soul. The name of the exhibition originates from the idea that the character of a wine is defined by the types of soil and how the  soul is defined by the soil where we live and love. We all come from somewhere and everywhere.

Requiem for Tesla is a semi-biographical, sci-fi homage to Nikola Tesla, a genius inventor who loved pigeons, hated spherical objects and was undoubtedly one of the most fascinating and controversial figures of all time. Requiem for Tesla is an ecstatic and evocative tribute to the man who gave us alternating current and dreamed of spaceships in a time when even electricity was dangerous magic. Tesla’s impassioned efforts to improve the quality of life for humankind left him straddling a line between genius and insanity.

Rude Mechs’ high-voltage stage-collage honoring the genius/madman fuses electrical magic, subconscious desire, and a real message from Mars. Featuring an hallucinatory Mark Twain, live music, and a spine-tingling Tesla coil all combust in this sci-fi electromagnetic polyphase dynamo play.
