1951 Ferrari 212E by Scott Jacobs 
Scott Jacobs’ work is remarkable for its photo realistic excellence. Depending on the size, each of Scott’s paintings usually takes more than one hundred hours to complete. Much of the work is done with a brush that is so small, it is like using a pencil point. He has found this to be the only way to render the necessary detail which allows the work to earn the title “Photo-Realistic”. Famous for painting sportscars and Harley-Davidson’s, Scott Jacobs has chosen this rare 1951 Ferrari 212E as his latest subject. HISTORY: Ferrari’s early commercial success started with the 166 and, from 1951 onwards, relied on the 212 for continued prosperity. While the factory focused on their larger 340 America for overall wins, the 212 was put in the hands of wealthy clients and spread the Ferrari name abroad. Being a dual purpose car, the 212 was built in two distinct states of tune. For the serious enthusiasts, 27 examples called the Export model were built for racing in the GT and sports classes. These cars featured a large fuel tank and radical carburetion that sometimes included the thirsty triple setup Weber 32 DCF setup from the 340 America. Power produced by the Export 212 varied from 150 to 170 bhp……click for more information…. |
FEAR NO ART: THE DINNER PARTY
Elysabeth Alfano, host of Fear No ART, is branching out with a new show and new format. In addition to Fear No ART which will continue to air, The Dinner Party is a monthly show broadcast live on the internet in front of a live audience at the Mayne Stage. Alfano invites 3 creatives (mostly artists, but also entrepreneurs and inventors) to join her for dinner. Each monthly dinner is created by a different celebrity chef. While the chef is preparing the meal (and our cameras capture the culinary art), the 4 diners sip wine and the conversations flow!
Buy tickets to be a part of the audience for the filming of the 1 hour show and then STAY for a sampling of the chef’s creation and a continuation of the conversation with Elysabeth and the artists. Don’t live in Chicago? Invite your friends over, watch The Dinner Party on FearNoArt.tv and have a dinner party of your own, while tweeting in your questions or comments during the show. If you miss the live broadcast, snippets will be posted on FearNoArt.tv and youtube later, but wouldn’t you rather be a part of it? Tickets go on sale on December 14th for the January 30th show. Details for this multi-sensory show are below. See you at dinner! Fear No ART presents THE DINNER PARTY: the last Monday of every month at Chicago’s Mayne Stage Theatre.
