Indulge in an extraordinary evening where fine dining meets fine art. Bon Vivant invites you to an immersive culinary experience, set against the backdrop of Floating Gardens, the latest collection by Toronto-based artist JAADES.

🎨About the Artist:

JAADES is a Toronto-based art house founded by Jade Buckley, an artist known for her dynamic and versatile approach to painting. Her latest collection, Floating Gardens, explores the delicate balance between nature and the subconscious, blending rich colors and layered textures to create a dreamlike atmosphere. Each piece embraces spontaneity, allowing paint spills and brushstrokes to dictate the composition - mirroring the fluidity of thought and memory. Through this collaboration, Bon Vivant and JAADES unite fine art with fine dining, crafting an immersive experience where each bite and brushstroke tells a story​
