cost: Free.
where: aMBUSH Gallery, 4a James Street, Waterloo.
from Stone & Wood:
“We paint our kegs with a simple green stripe, so we don’t lose them. But this got us thinking about what it’d be like if we got some real artists to paint an entire keg each and then sell them for charity. So The Keg Show was born … where twelve Australian artists have used our kegs as canvases to capture their creativity. The collection of keg artwork will be on show at three events, where art and the art of brewing beer come together for a good cause. The exhibition includes original works by Beci Orpin, Ben Brown, Beastman and heaps of others. So come along and have a beer with us at the Stone & Wood Brewery (Byron Bay) on June 4, 19 Karen Gallery (Gold Coast) on June 18, or Ambush Gallery (Sydney) on July 1.
Each of the artists have chosen a charity for their own keg. Some of those include Sea Shepherd, WIRES (Wildlife Rescue), SANE Australia, Movember and Rainforest Rescue. Of course, not everyone can afford one of the kegs, so we also have a an empty keg on the night where people can chuck their spare change. That money goes to Food Shelter Water, a favourite charity of ours at the brewery.
All shows are from 6pm-9pm. Also with thanks to Element there are 50 special-edition Keg Show shirts to be given away at each show for the early birds.”
