Creating Experiences

Arts and Ales has been rescheduled for Sept 19th
Still the most fun you can have in Franklin Co!  

​Many of our local small businesses have postponed and rescheduled events and exhibits. Artisan Depot Gallery has decided to follow suit according to the CDC guidelines. We are very sad about having to make this decision. Still, we know that it's for the safety and well being of our entire community. We will be closed and have canceled all events until April the 2nd when at that time, we will reevaluate to see if that needs to be extended.
We have a wonderful Student Art Show from Clark Memorial Elementary School, "Self Portrait". We are extending the time we have that show up and are planning on having the reception on the third Friday of May if all is well. There is a video of that show, and we will be featuring more of the student pictures each day as well, we hope you'll check them out while we are all self-quarantined.  We will also be posting daily images of some of our other artists' works in our show "Recycle Reuse" and the "Beertopia" Show. Stay tuned.
Arts and Ales has also been rescheduled for Sept 19. If you purchased tickets, they are still good, hold onto them. We hope you will be able to make this new event date. In case you can't, we hope that you will consider those funds as a donation as you know that these funds support our scholarship fund and the many other community programs that we provide. For more information about all of our community programs, please visit franklincoarts.org. For more information, you can send an email to franklicoarts@gmail.com  
Please check our Facebook page and web site often for updates.
We want to thank each of you for your continued support of arts and artists in our community.

​ Ticket information ​This is the sixth year we've had our Arts and Ales event at the beautiful and historic Monterey Station in Cowan, TN.

What is Arts and Ales?... It's more than 75 craft beers to sample.  We have more artists than ever this year, thanks to a grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission. We have invited artists from Tullahoma Art Center, Bell Buckle Arts Guild, Tennesse Craft South, Fayetteville Art Center, Broad Mountain Conglomerate Ruggers, and of course, our very own Franklin County Arts Guild to join in the fun and bring their art. We have art demos (ever wonder how they do that). Participate in Fun Mob Art Projects that anyone can enjoy with a take-home project.  Two great local bands and dancing! Great food from a local food truck. There is also a demo on making craft beer by our friends the Backwoods Carboys. 

 And this year we've added a VIP ticket just for those that want a little extra fun. Our regular event begins at noon.  This year we've included for VIP people some special treats starting at 11:00am. There will be food pairing for specific beers prepared by a local chef and bobbing for beer (I've never bobbed for beer, but it looks like fun and everyone wins a prize!) And a bling gift for all VIPer's.

So gather up those friends and family members (Must be 21 to attend and must have an ID to enter) there will be discounted tickets at the door for all of our designated drivers that don't drink beer but want to join in the fun. We'll see you there with our best fun hats on.
