Item #4: PROGRESSIVE BROADMOOR ART ACADEMY TOUR AND DINNER

Five couples will be wined, dined, and entranced by Broadmoor Art Academy collections at the Fine Arts Center and the homes of two of Colorado Springs's finest collectors.
Your evening will begin as each couple is picked up from their home in a glamourous BMW from Winslow BMW. Your driver will deliver you to the Fine Arts Center where you will be greeted with wine and light hors d'oeuvres. You will then begin your Broadmoor Art Academy tour at the place where it all started. You will delve into the Fine Arts Center's archives, and get an insider's history of Broadmoor Art Academy pieces not often seen by the public. Next, you and the rest of your party will ride in style in your BMW entourage to the home of Blake and Kathy Wilson. Your Broadmoor Art Academy tour will continue with a guided tour of Blake and Kathy's personal and extensive Broadmoor Art Academy collection, all while you continue to nosh and sip. Blake's expertise on the art will amaze you as you ogle piece after piece along your tour. Next, your BMW convoy will head to the home of Kathy Loo and Jim Raughton where your evening will continue with more wine, appetizers and art as the knowledgeable Jim Raughton continues your Broadmoor Art Academy history lesson. After you have fully soaked in Jim and Kathy's collection, hop back into your BMW and get whisked away to dinner at the Blue Star in the private wine cellar room. Please note that alcohol at the Blue Star is not included, but let's be honest, soaking up some of the alcohol from your previous three stops will probably be much needed! After your bellies are full, crawl back into your BMW and close your eyes as you reflect on the fabulous evening full of art, food, and friends, as your driver brings you back home.
