Event Details
Asia Institute-Crane House will celebrate the Year of the Horse at the annual Asian New Year Dinner & Auction on February 22, 2014. This coming year’s event will bring together five emerging Asian and Asian American chefs under the direction of Chef Peng Looi of Asiatique and August Moon Chinese Bistro.
Each chef will prepare an hors d’oeuvre and dinner course, during this evening of Asian inspired culinary delights. Our “Fab Five” chefs are James Moran, from Seviche a Latin Restaurant; Blake Pascua, of Basa Modern Vietnamese; Ming Pu, of River City Winery; Robbi Santos from Jack Fry’s; and Ajit Singh, Shalimar Indian Restaurant.
This black-tie event is the largest fundraiser Asia Institute-Crane House produces and generates over $50,000 for educational and programming initiatives. The funds raised at the event are a key resource in successfully fulfilling the organizational mission to be a community resource that promotes understanding of Asian cultures and heritage through education, outreach and the arts.
Guests will also have the opportunity to bid on unique items and packages in both the live and silent auctions. Performances from Louisville’s Asian communities will take place. Tickets are $250, $225 for Asia Institute-Crane House members.
