Wasted - The Great American Pastime

'Wasted – The Great American Pastime' Opening Reception: Saturday, June 9|7-10P On View: June 9– 30, 2012 Regular Gallery Hours: Tues.- Sat. 11A -5P Get hooked this summer on a heavy dose of ocular candy as WWA and Dave MacDowell presents 'Wasted,' a most intoxicating tribute exhibit about “being under the influence.” From Van Gogh to Kurt Cobain, mind-altering substances have always had a symbiotic and torturous relationship with the Arts. As both muse and disease, they can be the catalyst for creativity while simultaneously destructive to the maker. 'Wasted' is a tongue-in-cheek yet candid look at artists complex relationship with drugs and alcohol through eye stimulating contributions by over 70 fine artists and creative professionals. Nothing was deemed off-limits or taboo, we only requested they "paint responsibly." For full details on this event, including the artists roster, please see check out WWAGallery.com In addition to a fantastic evening with art, WWA Gallery has partnered with local eateries Rush Street, City Tavern, Backstage Bar & Grill, and Rocco's Tavern to put together a one-of-a-kind 'Wasted' pub crawl for patron’s to score deals on original artwork! Participating establishments have specials available to our collectors from 3-7pm on the day of the opening (Saturday June 9).
