2445 Series: The Art of Funk

The second of four events in TMAÂÂ's new 2445 SeriesÂÂ-The Art of FunkÂÂ-will be a high energy evening of free form creativity. Skip the club scene on March 11 and come instead to the Glass Pavilion from 7ÂÂ-10 p.m. for an evening of spontaneous fun and originality.

An eclectic mix of ten local musicians will present an extended jam session with funky band mashups never heard before. This unique music creation will be captured in live painting by Jerry Gray and Kerry Krow of Quest for Fire Studios, and in live pottery by local artist Dan Michelsen and Julie Webster of Shine Ceramics. Glass Studio Manager and artist Jeff Mack will demonstrate the making of unconventional glassworks. All pieces created during the evening will be available for purchase via silent auction.

Offbeat, original treats will be provided by Chef Erika Rapp. Heidelberg Distributing will provide an unusual, off-the-wall selection of beers, wines and liquors, plus giveaways.

2445 Series events are intended to build relationships by integrating art with eclectic and original programming. Special discounted TMA memberships will be available for purchase at each event.

Stay tuned for details on The Art of Seduction and The Art of Indulgence.

Tickets ($25 members/$30 nonmembers) are limited for each event and can be pre-purchased by calling (419) 254-5771, ext. 7432, or at the door while quantities last. Tickets include a sampling of delicious drinks, ample provisions, and a fun-filled evening.
