Art Tank Artist Talks

 

Join us for an inspiring evening of art and conversation at the B1 Gallery. We're excited to welcome two professional guest artists who will share insights from their creative careers — including their experiences, challenges, and lessons learned along the way.

The evening will also feature the opening reception of a gallery exhibition showcasing work from the Art Tank Emerging Artist Mentorship Program — featuring pieces by program mentees, their mentors, and our guest speakers.

Come celebrate creativity, community, and the next generation of artists with us. 🎨

Sliding Scale Pricing

Art Tank exists to support emerging artists, and we believe the door price shouldn't be what stops you from showing up. That's why we've set up a sliding scale:

🎟️	$15 -  Minimum entry cost
🎟️	$20 - Suggested price. Covers costs and keeps programs like this running.
🎟️	$30 - Community supporter. Your extra helps fund future Art Tank and Beaumont Studios programming

Every ticket gets you the same evening
