The artist speakeasy is a monthly public event in which three artists present creative presentations about their work, affording the audience further insight into the artist, the aesthetic and the creative process. Encouraging dialogue in an informal atmosphere, the artist speakeasy is designed to introduce local artists to the public and features artists of different artistic arenas (performing, visual, literary, etc.) to foster cross-disciplinary pollination. The winter holiday art market (wham) is held to give artists an economic engine to grow their markets and sell their work at a time of year when additional revenue is often needed. Free to the public, wham is a special exhibition, sale, and art festival in one- featuring art, demonstrations, and performances by local artists of all disciplines. This annual event generates opportunities for artists to engage the public in a festive atmosphere and to present their work to a large and diverse audience.

More than a fundraiser, cultured cocktails is an opportunity for artists, arts administrators, and fans to come together and network in a casual environment. Arc exhibitions feature talented local artists through spacetaker partnerships with local businesses, providing them with opportunities to showcase their work in a public forum.”
