Holiday Wine Tasting and Studio Tours at the Torpedo Factory

The Factory Society, the official young-professionals group of the Torpedo Factory Art Center, hosts an after-hours holiday wine tasting on Friday, December 18, 7 – 9 pm.

Attendees will have an opportunity to talk with resident artists in their studios and watch them work while meeting and networking with other young-professionals from across the region. Wines and light desserts will be paired with each studio along the tour.

“This will be a lighthearted evening for the under-40 crowd to learn more about the visual arts directly from the source—the artists themselves,” said Eric Wallner, CEO of the Torpedo Factory. “From first-time art enthusiasts interested in collecting to connoisseurs looking for a new treasure to bring home, this is a night for all art lovers to enjoy.”

Participating artists are:

• Stephanie Booth, Studio 12, post-graduate residency program
• Matthew Harwood, Studio 222, drawing and painting
• Rachel Kerwin, Studio 203, drawing, mixed-media, photography, painting
• Greg Knott, Studio 317, photography
• Alison Sigethy, Studio 307, collage, glass, jewelry, mixed-media, sculpture
• Whitney Staiger, Studio 332, jewelry
• Jennifer Brewer Stone, Studio 227, mixed-media, painting

Also during the evening, the Torpedo Factory Artists’ Association gives an exclusive first look at original works of art in the holiday pop-up art shop, perfect for giving the gift of art this year.

Tickets are $30. Space is limited. Information and tickets are available via torpedofactory.org/holidaywine. Must be 21 or older to attend.

This program is generously supported by Altura Wine and Gourmet and Kilwins Alexandria.
