Party Crashin’

OK, so it’s not really a Crash. We were invited.

The Hancock Barbershop Grand Opening here in Prescott is just the kind of party we’d like to crash if we had to, though.

(Thumb Butte Distillery is available to enhance your celebrations and business events with tastings from our line of fine Spirits.)

Oct. 24 - 4th Friday Art Walk

Featured Artist:

Warren Zager

 

Warren has worked in a variety of creative jobs: transforming

Country club ballrooms for debutants in the theme party business, designing

Interactive educational pieces, and crafting installations that enrich the

Community. As a science museum exhibits director he created acres of

Interactive, hands-on exhibits ranging from Robotic Dinosaurs to Deep

Space Explorations. He worked his way through college with stained glass

commissions, locally creating the stained glass windows and eternal flame

for Prescott’s Jewish Temple Brith Shalom. He has also worked with hot glass, which involves off-hand glass blowing

outside of a furnace. He specializes in mixed-media pieces, combining welded sculptures with blown glass and a number

of other substances. Favorite projects of his are centered on the thrilling mediums of molten glass, poured bronze, and

welded metals. In his art, Warren looks for depth of soul and energy; “something that will last past the end of humanity.

” Taking strong influences from Mesoamerican cultures past and present, Warren’s work pays homage to the ancients while

seeking to create a statement of the human condition in our times. His goal is to speak to our own culture, striving to create

powerful artistic pieces that are “something you cannot simply walk by”.

The tasting room will be open so you can enjoy Prescott’s own Fine Spirits as well.

Friday, August 22, 2014 from 5-8pm
