Acktoberfest: Art, Beer, and Cheese Pairings
- This event has passed.
Join us for “Acktoberfest,” an evening of art-inspired beer and cheese pairings, plus exhibition tours and still-life drawing stations, all in celebration of our current exhibition Drawn to Life: Master Drawings from the Age of Rembrandt in the Peck Collection at the Ackland Art Museum.
Tasting boards designed by The Cheese Shop (Carrboro, NC) will feature a selection of cheeses with connections to the drawings on view. Both boards and a la carte cheeses to take home will be available for purchase.
Local craft beers that pair well with the cheeses (and art!) will be available from Craftboro Brewing (Carrboro, NC) at a cash bar, with additional non-alcoholic offerings for sale.
Exhibition curator Dana Cowen will lead mini-tours of Drawn to Life throughout the evening, with a special look at the works that have been paired with the cheeses and beers.
At a still-life drawing station designed by University Florist (Chapel Hill, NC), try your hand at sketching from a gorgeous seasonal arrangement.
The admission is free. Food and drinks will be sold separately during the event by our vendor partners.
This project was supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
