Lake Charles

The Blue Dog Cafe'

On October 1, 2015, guests experienced a four-course dinner and wine pairing inspired by George Rodrigue’s famous Aioli Dinner painting at the new Blue Dog Cafe of Lake Charles!

Proceeds from the event supported art education programming in the Lake Charles area, including art supply kits from George’s Art Closet, scholarships from an annual art contest and the addition of a new Louisiana A+ School.
