Art & Ale 2016
August 27 @ 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm
Join us for the 2nd annual Art & Ale party, a fundraiser that benefits the Northfield Arts Guild! Art & Ale features local craft and homebrew, adult “make and take” art activities, live music, and more! Several members of the local homebrew club, Milltown Mashers, will be sampling their concoctions, as well as Dundas’ own Meetinghall Brewery. College City Beverage will also sample brews from other MN craft breweries. Make your own beer mug in our clay studio or take one home that night from the pop-up gallery exhibition, MUGGED!
NAG member Martha Larson, owner of Hot Spot Music and founder of the Gypsy Jazz Jam Series, has coordinated a kickin’ line-up of local music, including headliner Gary Rue!
*NEW* this year is an early entry ticket option (entrance at 7:00 pm); limited number available. More time to sample art, make art, and hang out with your friends! General admission to the event will begin at 8:00 pm. Last year’s event sold out, so get your tickets early!
