Artomatic is HERE!

Eclectic, crazy, Artomatic 2007 is on and open to the public! Plan many visits to stave off the possible over-saturation of so much art at one time. Along with over 400 visual artists: there is music, films, theater, and dance each of the 33 days. All free.

Some highlights:

Two for Tuesdays! Tuesday night panels and workshops will bring you a chance to talk with one of the leading cultural organizations in the area that provide resources for artists. The presentation will be followed up with a special offer with a local restaurant and those attending will get the special discount card when attending the resource workshops!

Wednesday Wine Tastings! Come on down for a wine tasting at the Emerald Bar every Wednesday night at 7pm. The presentation of the wines will be made by Dean and Deluca wine staff. You can follow it up with events including workshops, film programs, music, and poetry!

Thursday Night Tours and Pizza! Interested in getting an artist's eye view of Artomatic? Join us every Thursday evening! We'll have pizza available for a small donation, and after a little nosh you can head out on a tour led by one of the Artomatic participating artists! Interested in leading a Thursday night tour? Send an email.

Friday and Saturday Night Live! Check out the Artomatic event schedule. Fridays and Saturdays are chock full of performers, from dance to theater, and from acoustic acts to rocking out on the Electric Stage. And don't forget the workshops and classes during the day on Saturdays and Sundays, and film programming every Friday and Saturday night!
