The Art League's First 'Art on Tap' Coming Up Friday in Old Town

Love beer and you’re an art aficionado? Seven craft beers from six local breweries have been artfully paired with a work of art from an Art League instructor. Local restaurants have chosen a brew/artwork coupling to serve as their muse to create the perfect complementary appetizer. Enjoy the numerous brew, bite and artwork trifectas on Friday, Oct. 3 from 7 to 10:30 p.m. at The Art League’s first Art on Tap event.

The event takes place in Studio 21 at the Torpedo Factory, 105 N. Union St. in Old Town.
