Doma Kitchen in Manhattan Beach is bringing the world of food and art together with its first monthly featured artist and the public is invited to attend two special same-day events on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

At 4 p.m. that day, the Manhattan Beach Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony that celebrates Doma's arrival in MB. At 5 p.m., the restaurant will host an art reception with complementary small bites and an extended happy hour.

Doma is showcasing the art of Ben Zask of ZaskGallery.com for September. Zask is scheduled to be at the art reception on Wednesday, Sept. 16. 

Doma hopes Zask's display of art, which he has personally selected to complement the restaurant's decor, will be the first of many more to feature new, local artists on a monthly basis. Guests who attend the evening are welcome to enjoy complimentary small bites, meet the artist and extended happy hour specials.

Doma Kitchen offers a globally inspired cuisine with an emphasis on European and Central Asian techniques. Owners Angie Corrente and Stan Mayzalis and Chef Kristina Miksyte have taken inspiration from their world travels, creating a menu that reflects the exciting cuisine found throughout the globe.

All dishes are prepared from scratch and seasoned to perfection with housemade spices, placing the highest importance on farmer’s market fresh, seasonal, and quality ingredients. With their design background, Angie and Stan have created an environment unlike any other in the South Bay.

Zask Gallery, in San Pedro, is open by appointment only.
