TANGERINE

Each year Tangerine supports various organizations in Boulder and beyond, as a way to help give back to the community we are part of, and which is integral to our existence.

One of largest and most important forms of support we give is to Boulder’s own KGNU Community Radio station. KGNU has been very close to Chef Owner Alec Schuler’s heart since he moved to Boulder in 1991. KGNU provides the community intelligent and diverse news – plus a massive variety of non-main stream music. To help bolster and feed them, for about 9 years and running, we donate 80+ seats to a 4 or 5-course paired wine and/or beer dinner. These are a great opportunity for the KGNU community to “break bread”. Donate to KGNU and get a seat at the table.

All three locations have commissioned artwork by Longmont Artist Javan M. Stackley.  Chef, renaissance man and great friend of Tangerine owner Alec Schuler, their work together on these pieces started in 2008, just before Alec opened his first restaurant.  While eating and drinking around Europe, in the early 2000s, Alec visited corkscrew museums in Menerbes, FR and Barolo, IT and became instantly enamoured with old corkscrews.  And a collection started, with the idea to display them in his imaginary restaurant to be.  Along the way Alec also collected other cool, old and interesting food and wine implements.  During the concepting and design of Alec’s first restaurant Arugula, it was time to create, but how to “display” this hodgepodge of items tastefully?  That’s when Alec got Javan involved.  During that process they stumbled upon mid-20th Century Artist Louise Nevelson.  Instantly they had a plan to create homages to Lousie by creating sculptures with these objects and painting them monochrome, just as Lousie had done with “found objects”.  And as the number of pieces of art grew as Alec opened more restaurants, they even started using old family heirlooms, old sports gear, wine crates and thrift store/garage sale purchases.  Respect to Louise!
