Sip, mingle, and explore at Distillery 98 for an evening celebrating featured artist Renee Broxson. Presented in collaboration with Emerald Coast Storytellers, Distilled: An Artist Series, this free opening night marks the start of Renee's month-long installation (April 1 - 30, 2026)—whimsical, character-driven paintings woven throughout the distillery all April long. Hear Renee speak about her creative process, enjoy drinks, and grab a bite while enjoying and shopping the art.

In the Painting on Cardboard class at ADSO, participants will explore painting on cardboard, starting with a demonstration of how to prepare the surface for durability and texture. Using acrylic paint, pencils, and collage elements, students will create layered, expressive works on this unexpected material.

Tapas & Tunes just got more exciting! Local artist Renee Broxson has generously donated a hand-embellished canvas print of Three Days at the Beach (18” x 36”) to the evening’s silent auction. With added texture and detail, this coastal-inspired piece is one-of-a-kind—bringing the beauty of the shoreline into any space—all while supporting Topsail Hill Preserve State Park.

Experience Renee Broxson’s work in a luxury coastal home reimagined as a living gallery. Hosted by the Cultural Arts Alliance and Justin Gaffrey Studios, with live music, bites, and a benefit raffle. Don’t miss this celebration of local art and design!
