The evening

There's a difference between being together and truly connecting. On Wednesday, November 18, Franco Cabral and Iliana Carmona-Cabral invite you to an intimate evening in their studio to explore that difference, through conversation, creativity, and time together.

Settle in with good food and good company. Join a live couples conversation about love and intention. Watch artist Christopher Rios bring an original painting to life, and add your own touch to the shared canvas. Then take a few quiet moments, just the two of you, with a question worth carrying home.
