A Night to Remember: 2025 Artists & Collectors Dinner – Botanica

On a perfect spring evening, the Cultural Center of Cape Cod blossomed into a living work of art for our sold-out 2025 Artists & Collectors Dinner: Botanica. Fifty collectors and supporters gathered with twenty-five of our most celebrated artists for a truly magical night of connection, creativity, and culinary delight.

A Sensory Celebration of Nature and Art

Botanica was more than just a theme—it was a fully immersive experience. Inspired by the organic beauty of plants, flowers, and natural textures, the event space was transformed into a dreamscape. Guests entered a world of lush greenery and visual art, thanks to the incredible artistry of Country Garden, who installed breathtaking foliage throughout the Great Hall

Adding an ethereal and emotional layer to the evening, a custom soundscape by sound artist Skooby Laposky filled the space with music provided by the biometrics of the plants in the space. It was a subtle but powerful presence that grounded the event in the essence of Botanica.

The magic was elevated even further by the astonishing performance artists from Ten31, who brought the garden theme to life through living sculptures and dramatic, nature-inspired costuming. Their elegant movements and otherworldly presence added an unforgettable element of surprise and awe to the evening, captivating guests throughout the night.
