Arts & Drafts, our monthly local artist showcase, rolls into Spring with our April artist: Marisa Choate. Stop by the taproom through the month of April to see an exhibit of Ms. Choate's artwork. Then, come by on Thursday, April 28 at 6pm for an artist meet-n-greet, empanadas by the Grumpy Gaucho food truck, and live beats by local musician Syahi.

All artwork is for sale by the artist and can be purchased by contacting them through the information provided on each piece. Support local art and beer at the same time!

ARTIST STATEMENT
Choate's art is for everyone, and she believes that “life doesn’t live forever so neither should art." Her work focuses on creating art that anyone can appreciate and enjoy.

In general, the art world ignores the disabled. Choate wants to change that. Her work specifically embraces and allows disabled individuals to participate with the work.

It is very important to share Choate's story and her family’s story with a focus on disability, through her work. It focuses on their shared genetic and physical history. Her work is about embodying feelings and wearing emotions. She shows interior elements, both physical and emotional, on the exterior of the body.
