East Austin’s Lydia Street Gallery kicks off their new art series, "Eat, Drink, Art!" honoring internationally renowned photographer, Professor Emeritus Lawrence McFarland. Guests will enjoy a private viewing of McFarland’s photography, meet the artist, and hear his perspective on his life and work. The evening includes wine, whiskey, tapas, and a raffle of one of McFarland’s photographs. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Austin Pets Alive.

Lawrence's deep love and reverence for animals make the choice of Austin's beloved non-profit, Austin Pets Alive, a perfect match. Chef Fer of Paella Tapas & More will serve tapas at the event. Wine and whiskey also provided. The evening will conclude with a raffle of one of McFarland’s photographs.
