ARTonTAP is back at OKCMOA for the 18th-anniversary block party bash. Guests can enjoy over 80 varieties of beer from 14 different breweries on Saturday, Oct. 23 from 7 to 10 p.m. in front of the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Tickets are $50 for OKCMOA members and $65 for the general public. New this year is a limited number of $100 VIP tickets offering early access to premium beers.
“This year, Couch Drive will be transformed into the ARTonTAP Block Party,” said Kimberley Worrell, OKCMOA director of development. “Guests can sample over 80 varieties of beer right out front of the Museum. We can’t wait to celebrate under the stars with the Capital Distributing Beer Garden, the Gay and Ed Kirby Lounge, and live music presented by Linda and Steve Slawson. Moving the event outdoors allows us to gather together safely while still offering an opportunity to support our local brewers and the Museum.”
“We are thrilled that ARTonTAP is back at the Museum this year,” said Rick Higginson, vice president of sales and marketing for Capital Distributing. “This is always one of our favorite events and we are looking forward to showcasing some new brews in our Beer Garden. I encourage everyone to buy a ticket to support the Museum and their wonderful exhibitions and programs.”
The Capital Distributing Beer Garden will feature fan favorites like Lagunitas, Dogfish Head, and Boulevard. New this year will be a variety of hard seltzers such as Topo Chico Hard Seltzer and Dos Equis Ranch Water.
Tasty bites will be available for purchase from local food trucks, including The Fried Taco, Hot Dog OKC, Just desserts OKC and Wicked Hangry.
Guests can dance to live music by The Broadcasters, presented by Linda and Steve Slawson. There will also be a live chalk art demonstration by Elisha Gallegos. The tasting mugs are generously provided by Simmons Bank.
Tickets can be purchased at www.okcmoa.com/artontap and will only be sold in advance. A valid ID is required, and guests must be 21 years or older to attend.
