Café City Arts is one of Oklahoma City’s most exciting parties, and a great way keep up the energy that comes with the hope of a new year! The annual celebration is both party and art sale. In addition to an open bar and food from some of the metro area’s finest and newest restaurants, the signature event (7 p.m., January 28) features the extraordinary work of national, regional and emerging artists.

For nearly two decades, proceeds from the fundraiser have enabled year-round visual arts exhibits free of charge to the public. Artists participating in the exhibit donate 50 percent of their art sales income to City Arts Center.

That sounds pretty awesome, right?  Well, Cafe Evoke Catering is happy to be a part of what will prove to be a killer evening of art, sips, eats and tons of other stuff!  We don’t know exactly what to expect for this event but we do know that we will be teamed up with our friends at T, An Urban Tea House.

Now, if you haven’t had tea from T yet (wait, that’s kind of tricky to say..), your missing out.  We like to think of them as the Cafe Evoke of the tea world - bringing the best tea around to Oklahoma.  

If you haven’t made plans for this beautiful Friday evening, here is what you  need to know:

Tickets purchased online can be picked up at the Will Call desk the night of the event. Tickets can be purchased the day of the event at City Arts Center for $65 each.
