As part of Craft Beer Week, Wheatgrass Saloon will host Art on Tap: Sip & Dip & Dab with Parks Reece. This finger painting class with the Livingston artist will be combined with craft beer and heavy appetizers.
The event will take place Friday, April 8th from 6-8pm at Wheatgrass Saloon, located at 120 North Main Street in Livingston. Cost of the event is $45 and includes a lesson with Parks Reece, all materials, craft beer, and heavy appetizers. As Livingston hosts its 2nd annual Tap into Montana Craft Beer Week, Wheatgrass Saloon will host its 2nd annual Art on Tap. Last year’s Art on Tap was a huge success and sold out early.
Call 406-333-2330 to reserve your spot now! Wheatgrass Saloon has also just announced two calls for art for the upcoming Art Walk season in Livingston. The Upstairs Gallery invites artists to participate in Livingston’s July Art Walk exhibit, “Reclaiming our Icons.” Once sacred icons, the swastika and the cross have been consciously distorted as propagandizing tools used to symbolize and celebrate all that ensues from a culture of duality: sin, judgment, supremacy, hatred, fear. Can the artist, who works from a deeper knowing, help to reclaim these and other icons and restore them to the collective unconscious by reinvention, reinterpretation, and re-grounding? The Upstairs Gallery also invites artists to participate in the YNP Centennial Celebration exhibit “Hot Pots” by submitting, for consideration, original works of art to be on display in the gallery August 19th–September 12th. The goal of the exhibit is to celebrate the alchemy of matter and mystery at play in the mud of Yellowstone National Park deep below the surface and on its dynamic crusted top. Submissions for both exhibits must be received by 5pm on Friday, July 15th.
For detailed requirements for either application, please e-mail wheatgrassaloon@gmail.com or call 406-333-2330 for more information.
