At CAFÉ TU TU TANGO it's all about the art

Few thngs enrich our lives like the shared visions of artists. Whatever the medium, whether commercial or fine, musician or sculptor, artists provide our lives with their seasoning. Spiced with passion, served over a plate of beauty, and sprinkled with a dash of inspiration, it is the work of artists that CAFÉ TU TU TANGO honors every day.

After all, we consider ourselves artists as well. Instead of a canvas, we work with a restaurant, painting flavors upon its menu, coloring in rich tones of ambiance for our audience, our guests to enjoy.

And we are also patrons of the arts, helping the blossoming careers of fresh visionaries gain exposure and find a receptive audience. Through our various locations and through this site we offer artists a unique means of displaying their work.

And through our "Starving Artist Program," we help insure that future artistic geniuses won't go hungry.

Starving Artist Program

Since its inception, CAFÉ TU TU TANGO has supported local artists by offering them a unique deal. We offer promising talents a place to work at their art within our restaurant, in exchange for food. Artists are paid for their time in "TANGO Dollars," which they can redeem at any time for food from our menu.

For artists looking to get their start, it's a pretty sweet deal.

And for our guests, it's also sweet, because it gives them the chance to catch future Picassos in the act of creating. It's entertaining, inspriring, and quite often amazing to behold.

What's best, however is that it works. CAFÉ TU TU TANGO's artist programs have numerous success stories, including Clifford Bailey, the artist pictured above.
