Cocktail Tour | America 250: Common Threads
Kick things off in Eleven, where our mixologists will teach you how to craft the perfect cocktail. Then head into the America 250: Common Threads exhibition with the curators for a tour that explores the symbols artists turn to when celebrating or commenting on the United States: George Washington’s many faces, eagles appearing across books, baskets, and coverlets, flags seen as quilts or as documentation of the moon landing, and more.
Tickets: $25 ($20 for members), reserve your spot online or by calling Guest Services at (479) 657-2335
