On Monday, November 2nd The
Rolos & Icons exhibit closed its doors to the general public a few hours early for a private dinner hosted by
Saint Frida &
The Peralta Project. Sticking to the theme of the exhibit, guests of the repast ranged from a variety of forces within contemporary Latino/a culture. Featuring the likes of: Artist, actor & playwright
Lemon Andersen, writer, comedian and self proclaimed slang philanthropist
The Kid Mero, recording artists & DJ duo formally known as
Nina Sky, lifestyle blogger extraordinaire
Kyrzayda Rodriguez along with
Emily B, sterling fashion stylist & co star of VH1’s hit show, "
Love & Hip Hop".
The 5 star meal and menu was prepared by
Fadia Kader (who heads
Cooking With Kader) and
Chef Santana Benitez. The one of a kind table set up was curated by none other than the wizard
Aurea Sanabria who made sure the arrangement catered to a family style meal - the kind all Latino's look forward to at the end of a busy day.

Tony Peralta was granted the opportunity to express his felicity with the general turn out during the first few days of his exhibition. Choosing to share a few sentimental words with the guests, Mr. Peralta touched on his relief and sensibilities to the crowd, addressing the year of 2015 as a whole which at times seemed to throw constant trials & tribulations at the artist. Tony Peralta (with the help of others) was able to keep the ball rolling marking another victory while on the path of success.
