Breaking Bread: The Art of Gathering

Experience Friendsgiving with How Sanguine & The Gantt Center Join How Sanguine at the Gantt on November 11th, from 6–9 p.m., for an interactive rooftop evening where fashion, food, and live entertainment come together. This Friendsgiving dinner party includes six courses of tastes from How Sanguine, each inviting you to savor, connect, and explore the evening through food. With the Charlotte skyline as our backdrop, we’re bringing creativity to the table and personal style into the spotlight. Join us right at 6pm for a spoken word performance by Mia Love Live, featuring Curt Keyz on piano. The suggested attire includes an elevated, earthy palette of forest green, olive, chocolate brown, camel, muted terracotta, and warm neutrals for a subtle fall-inspired theme. We encourage guests to interpret this creatively, allowing the evening to feel intentional, welcoming, and expressive with a cohesive earthtone theme. Come dressed to express yourself. You’re part of the experience. About How Sanguine: How Sanguine is an experiential marketing and food-first event production company.
