INTRODUCTION The Oklahoma Art Center Association requests the pleasure of your company for Dinner a I'Art. Since 1977 these annual fund-raising dinner events have been organized to benefit the Oklahoma Art Center and to charm the discriminating tastes of central Oklahomansâ€"and all who enjoy the pleasures of entertaining. Yearly, our patron gourmets select a Menu and share their hospitality and culinary talents either in their own homes, or special settings, with donors who contribute money tolhe Oklahoma Art Center in return for an evening of the best food, wine, and ambiance our hosts can offer. Each Spring, members and supporters of the Oklahoma Art Center receive a collection of the year's 20 to 25 available Menus from which they select six dinner options. Once their checks and reservation forms are returned, committee mem- bers match requests to Dinners on a first-come, first-serve basis. Then the guests are notified which Dinner they will attend, and the hosts, whom to expect. Over 100 Dinner a I'Art Menus representing twenty-three foreign countries, Ameri- can regional and specialty Dinners, and wine selections have been assembled. This collection is enhanced by exemplary paintings and art chosen from the permanent collection of the Oklahoma Art Center. We present Dinner a I'Art for the pleasure of your companyâ€"a benefit for both the palate and palette. Dinner a I'Art Publication Committee
