The fourth annual Art on the Rocks was a big success, with almost 200 people coming to enjoy cocktails, appetizers, music, and art. Thank you to everyone who came out to support The Art League!

Everyone had a good time documenting the evening on Instagram (using the tag #aotr) and at our Old Town Editions photo booth, as you can see in the photos above and below. At the end of the evening, after all the votes were tallied, one restaurant took home both the prizes for best cocktail and best food/drink pairing: Chadwick’s and bartender Trae Lamond.
