Arkansas Arts Center : Check out pictures from Art on Tap: Brew Like an Egyptian!
Arkansas Arts Center 's newest acquisition is here! As part of our Building the Collection series, visit the AAC and see an oil on paper by Gustave Courbet. Courbet was an innovator - in the subjects he painted, his handling of the paint medium, the way he marketed his work, and the way he lived his life. He was one of the most important figures in 19th century art. This piece is on view beginning today through January 17, 2010.
Arkansas Arts Center Join the AAC every Tuesday from 3 - 7 p.m. for Pharaoh After Dark! During this time, all tickets to World of the Pharaohs are $14 each and children under 5 are free.

Don't miss Art on Tap this Friday, October 16 from 6 - 9 p.m.! Enjoy a variety of beers including an Egyptian beer brewed just for Art on Tap! Mike Byrum of Fermentables Homebrew & Wine Makers Supply in North Little Rock tells us that "Egyptians actually baked loaves of bread, crumbled them and then made beer. While we... didn’t go to that extreme, we did use common ingredients of the time including millet, barley and wheat as the primary grains". Come taste this unique beer that was brewed like the Egyptians!
