Free food and a free exhibit? Love it!!
cocktails are the perfect compliment to an art exhibit – good idea!
Probably because what’s considered art is easier to swallow after a ‘few’.
Sounds like an amazing opportujity. And you can’t beat free.
so there! see ya!
Don’t miss this opp for a quirky evening out with friends or a date. The exhibit takes a bit to digest, but mixed with cocktails, it’s a must! Stretch yourselves!
It’s always great to see artists’ interpretations of ‘art’, sometimes you wonder if they sipped more than a few cocktails to get so creative.
Art, Alcohol and free admission! I am there!
What a great way to make happy hour feel sophistocated! I have a few girlfriends who work in that area, let’s do it!
Art and free alcohol, beautiful.
