Thanks to everyone who entered for a chance to win tickets to the de Young Museum’s upcoming French Kiss: ArtPoint’s Bastille Day Celebration on July 14.
The correct answer to the question “What is the formal, French name for Bastille Day?” is “La Fête Nationale,” which means National Celebration. Congratulations to Emily L., Suzy L., Simon C. and C. Low who each won a pair of tickets after being randomly drawn from the correct entries.
Even if you didn’t win, you can still attend the celebration at the de Young which promises “French-inspired fare and an array of specialty drinks from our open bar, including some deliciously unique absinthe cocktails.” Tickets and info
The event is put on by ArtPoint, the young professionals’ organization dedicated to promoting an awareness of, interest in, and a long-term commitment to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the de Young and Legion of Honor.
