Unearthing Adventures

If you're ready to join us on our next adventure, be prepared for a perfectly crafted happy hour!

We know that by Thursday night, we're ready to let loose a bit before the weekend...which is why we are letting the adventure happen on a n evening this time. Just a few hours with the gals, blowing off steam with a game or craft, and some tasty snacks and drinks.

DM if you're interested! July 16th is the date!

Our next adventure will be at the hottest local distillery, so hold on to your hats if you love a good vodka or whiskey cocktail! (But if booze ain't your thing, there's lots of mocktails to choose from, too-ask Amber about the blueberry lemonade!).

Get ready to explore a one-of-a-kind atmosphere with drinks, snacks and a low-key craft!

Save the date: July 16th!

We met one of the featured artists at the Amarillo Museum of Art during our last adventure! When asked if he'd take a photo with our group, he said yes! AND he even suggested how and where we should pose. Classic artist with a classic eye for design.

What makes YOU feel like it's officially summer?

Today is the longest day and shortest night of the year-Happy Summer!

We're celebrating by sharing a simple summer fruit salad that we served at a previous event: Our favorite fruit + fresh mint. Yes, it can be that simple and still be delicious!

It'll be quite the bomb experience for our next adventure in July! Save the date (July 16) for the happiest of happy hours!

Just in time for International Picnic Day! Our last event had us chatting and snacking under a gorgeous tree at the college after our museum tour. We had fans to keep us cool, too, even though the day ended up being quite pleasant!

We like to take group photos at our events. Del had a very specific idea in mind for our trip to the museum. Lol, what do you think? Museum of Art (Also, is anyone else inspired by Sloan's white jacket?)

We realized after our last event that LOTS of local people have never been to our art museum. And of the ones who HAVE, most of them only because they attended an office party or fundraiser (where they ate and drank but never got to walk around to all the floors and check the place out!)

After seeing this plaque in the Amarillo Museum of Art's library, we looked into the Amarillo Art Alliance. Behind every exhibition opening, lecture, fundraiser and educational program is a dedicated group of volunteers of the alliance. Since 1972 (when the museum opened), the AMoA Alliance has worked alongside the museum to bring art to the Texas Panhandle.

This is our urging: Go to the museum! It's donation-based, so drop a few bucks in the bucket and enjoy the high-end art our city has to offer. It's a wonderful way to spend the afternoon!

One of the highlights of our event at Amarillo Museum Art was meeting one of the featured artists, Ron Cooper. Using vertical acrylic constructions painted with automotive paint, his pieces seemed to shift and transform depending on where you stood. They made for intereresting shadows on the wall and light reflections.

Something Cooper pointed out to us as we talked with him was how well the verticle lines of his sculptures complimented Ed Ruscha's horizontal lithographs and paintings.

It's always inspiring to hear what's going on inside an artist's head!
