The Art Happy Hour! is a monthly gathering of Minnesotans who appreciate the finer things in life, especially: A.) Art, and B.) Happy Hour.

Art Happy Hour! considers happy hour to be one of civilized society’s better rituals, the best time of the week to unwind from work, to join in good conversation, and allow oneself have high spirits (in all senses of the phrase). Plus, happy hour makes the wheels of commerce go round!

Here’s our mission: Art Happy Hour! will take place once a month — namely every second Wednesday, 4 pm to 7 pm — at the fabulous Bedlam Theatre on the West Bank in Minneapolis. Features include, but are not limited to, food and drink special from the Bedlam’s Bar N Restaurant, fun theatrical and artistic events, art trivia contests (with prizes!), of course good spirits and company, & much much more!

It will a good time for all. It will be artistic and happy. It will be Art Happy Hour!

Obligatory disclaimer: Of course, we promote the idea of responsible and safe drinking and encourage participants to consider arranging transportation when engaging in a good happy hour. We want everyone to live long ornery lives full of art and happy hours, but we can take no responsibility for people’s bad behavior, such as it may be.
