Enjoy happy hour from the comfort of your own screen via Facebook Live! We’ll start the program with a cocktail demonstration featuring local bar Tulips. The bartenders will show us how to make a unique cocktail based on Arthur Dove’s painting The Lobster. After we make our drinks, Carter Community Artist Brenda Ciardiello will lead us in creating a Fauvist-style still life inspired by the painting.

Limited cocktail and art-making kits are available for free for the first 50 registrants. All kits need to be picked up from the Carter; we will not ship supplies. Cocktail kits do not include alcohol; all participants will be required to supply their own alcohol. After registering, you will receive an email about supply kit pick-up.
