ArtPrize Artist Party for Aaron McCall
September 19th • 5pm
We are excited to host Aaron McCall as our 2025 ArtPrize Artist!
Head over to the taproom Friday evening for his big reveal!
💀 Meet & Greet with Aaron
💀 36x48 Bone Zone Painting installation
💀 Free 5x7 hand-made prints
🍺 Bone Zone beer release
This wouldn't be a party without a beer release?! As part of his Bone Zone entry there is also a matching Beer Label. The can cooler will be filled with this new beer!
BEER + ART = Bone Zone
About the art installation:
Survival isn’t glory. It’s maintenance. A constant trade-off between the parts of you still running toward the flagpole and the parts that already gave up the game. Some days, it feels like progress. Other days, like replaying the same broken level with less and less health.
From the outside, it might look like play—like purpose. But inside? It's bones held together by instinct, pressure, and the muscle memory of pretending everything’s fine.
The chaos isn’t loud. It hums under the surface—anxiety, depression, expectation—all pushing in from every direction, like invisible walls that don't care if you win. You just try to keep moving. Pixel by pixel. Bone by bone.
