Join us tonight from 6-8pm for the Opening Receptions of two exciting exhibitions that explore identity as an evolving process shaped by memory, relationships, and connection. Through abstraction, personal storytelling, and experimental forms, both artists create spaces that reflect on q***r experience, emotional complexity, and the ways we understand ourselves in relation to others. Come, be inspired, and congratulate Quinn Faylor and Teddy Keeling on their excellent work!

Thanks to Concentrate for shining a spotlight on this year's Artini Cocktail Crawl.

"Funds raised through Artini help the Ann Arbor Art Center maintain affordable classes, workshops, summer camps, and community arts programming at a time when operating costs continue to rise...

“We’re really committed to keeping our prices lower so families can afford to go to our classes, our workshops, our summer camps,” A2AC Executive Director Jenn Queen says. “We’re in it to serve the community, and this is the way that we do that.”"

The Ann Arbor Art Center’s annual Artini fundraiser returns to downtown Ann Arbor on June 20, bringing arts lovers together for an evening of cocktails, creativity, and support for cultural programming.

Now open in the A2AC Spotlight Gallery, Teddy Keeling's collection of small batch, home-created magazines (zines) and prints created with the intention of exploring q***r identity, complex feelings, and creating a space to visually communicate freely. Celebrate the Opening Reception with us this Friday, June 12, in coordination with the opening of Quinn Faylor's How We Hold in the A2AC Gallery, making for a banner, Pride-filled night at the A2AC.

Let's talk about our block of W Liberty St, and the amazing support we see from our neighbors all year round. At this year's Artini Cocktail/Mocktail Crawl for a Cause, three of our nearest and dearest are joining in to not only compete for the best drinks of the night, but also to support our community's access to visual arts. Add in one additional venue who'll once again be a satellite spot in the A2AC Gallery, and that means FOUR spots to consider stopping at on our block alone!

W Liberty spots to consider on your crawl:
Alley Bar | The Grotto | Lowertown Bar & Cafe (at the A2AC) | The West End Grill
