In support of the arts, Arts & Central has partnered with Lakewood Ranch’s NewGate School to showcase artwork by upper school students on the back of our August dinner menus.

This month, our lunch menus will also feature some of our published poetry’s greatest hits. Each menu will include a poem by one of eight recently featured Arts & Central poets, touching on everything from nostalgia for the nighttime sky to the quiet joys of being a kitchen poet.

Artists: Issac Henderson, Anton Varshavsky, Eli Smith, Veda DiPiero, Sofia Schimenti, Silas Odom, K.J. Ray, Lilly Bell.
