Chél saw the gap in opportunities for up-and-coming artists and those who were already established. Seeing first hand how rapidly the South Florida scene was expanding, she decided to create an opportunity by establishing the A.R.T. LIVE: A Reason To Live event series. There are four events a year which highlight musicians, artists, filmmakers, dancers, comedians and more. The series launched in December of 2015 and show cased visual artists, poets and filmmakers from the tri-county area. This gave all event goers from grandchildren to grandparents an up close look at the South Florida artistic community. With artist ranging from 18 to 35 and from all experience levels and ethnic backgrounds the audience saw that art can be expressed by anyone.
For this upcoming A.R.T. LIVE event Lola Chél and her team are bringing out artists from as far away a Central Florida to offer a night where event-goers have a reason to dress up and enjoy themselves. She is pairing with Chef Jordan Catering Co. a South Florida based catering company, to offer guests the experience of wine tasting and pairing. Chef Jordan Catering Co. will showcase two wines and one champagne to be paired with foods that can be found on a menu as well as in the household refrigerator.
