socialize before the dinner.
Not only are they artists with stone and clay, Al and Georgia Moore are artists with food as well. On Saturday, April 30, they hosted a fundraising dinner for the Winnsboro Fine Art Market at their “little house in the woods”.
A lucky group of 14 guests feasted on a six course meal featuring an entrée of roasted pork tenderloin stuffed with a medley of wild mushrooms and herbs, served on a bed of sage polenta, and accompanied by three different sauces.
Consummate art lovers, the Moore’s home features a two story atrium/gallery filled with artwork they’ve collected over the years. The guests were invited to browse and enjoy the art before they settled down to an “artful” dinner. As Chef Al Moore would say, “Presentation is everything,” but his guests would probably disagree. Everything tasted as good as it looked.
Marilyn Arnaud, a member of the Board of the Winnsboro Main Street Partnership, Inc., that produces the Art Market commented, “The food was wonderful, the wine was wonderful and the company was wonderful. I wish we could do this every weekend.”
If you weren’t among the lucky few who attended this dinner, you’ll get a second chance when the Moore’s host another dinner on Saturday, June 11th. The menu for the second dinner isn’t completed but rumor has it that the entrée will be beef tenderloin or perhaps Beef Wellington.

Funds raised from these dinners will benefit The Winnsboro Fine Art Market that takes place November 5th & 6th, 2011, in the Cultural Arts District of Downtown Winnsboro. The Art Market is a festival and sale of fine art and craft from artists in Northeast Texas and beyond. All artists must pass a jurying process before acceptance to the festival to insure quality art. In addition to the art, the Art Market features continuous live music presented by City National Bank, demonstrations by exhibiting artists, a wine garden featuring wine from several area wineries, and art activities for the children. Admission to the Art Market is free.
The Winnsboro Fine Art Market is sponsored by The Winnsboro Main Street Partnership, a non-profit corporation whose mission is to support the development of successful and thriving private sector businesses in the Downtown Historic District and throughout the City of Winnsboro.
