AAC Art on the Walls
|
COOL BEANS!
The Arts Council CoffeeHouse has found a home thanks to the Simple Pleasures Cafe in St Albans.
Fresh from his triumphant debut at the Maple Festival, singer/actor Tim Stetson and His Invisible Friends will present a few more of his favorite gospel and country songs at the AAC CoffeeHouse at Simple Pleasures Cafe in St Albans, VT, Wednesday evening, May 10, at 7 p.m. The paintings of AAC member Eric Bataille will be on exhibit. The artwork will remain at Simple Pleasures through June. 
Programming note: in 2001, the AAC CoffeeHouse changed to a new date and time. Join us on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month!
The illustrations and paintings of AAC member Josh Derner will be featured this month at the Highgate Springs Welcome Center, immediately south of the U.S.-Canadian border crossing.
Stop in for the AAC CoffeeHouses at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month. These gatherings bring new opportunities, gossip, "show-and-tell" and workshops. We come together on the second Wednesday for a booked musical performance and an art exhibit at Simple Pleasures in St Albans. On the fourth Wednesday come to the Kept Writer in St Albans for acoustic Open Mike Night featuring music, readings, and more from the best new artists in Vermont.
