Emergent Arts celebrates five years with ‘Indulgences’

Emergent Arts is celebrating its fifth anniversary this month with “Indulgences,” a celebration for friends, artists and patrons of the arts from

6-9 p.m. Sept. 29 at 116 Central Ave., with hosts Dorothy Morris and Davis and Suellen Tillman.

Attendees will enjoy live performances, original art and culinary delights with specialty cocktails sponsored by Deep Eddy Vodka.

Emergent Arts Executive Director Erin Holliday injected her creative energy, dedication and passion for the arts in Hot Springs into the

501(c)3 nonprofit arts organization, a news release said, with the mission to “foster creativity among emerging artists of all ages and abilities in Garland County and surrounding communities,” a mission which has opened doors for many artists of all ages and caliber.

“We believe that every person is capable of having a creative experience, as a viewer, a participant, a creator, or a supporter,” said Holliday.

Emergent Arts has made its home in the Dryden Pottery Complex at 341-A Whittington Ave. after completing major renovations to the existing building. Dryden Pottery has been creating art in this location since 1956, spanning three generations.

Live entertainment will be featured on the two creatively adorned levels of the apartment. Scot Key will serve as event planner.

Parking will be available at First Presbyterian Church, 213 Whittington Ave., with complimentary shuttles by JJ Pedicabs. Dress is casual cocktail.

All-inclusive tickets are $75 and can be purchased online at http://www.emergentarts.org. RSVPs are requested by Monday by calling 501282-5699.
