ALL NIGHT || OSCAR’S CAFE

Got ears? Then you’ve gotta listen to this. Got feet? Well get to stepping. Birmingham Mountain Radio’s late night host of The Audiovore joins us for a night that is sure to swoon with vinyl tunes and cosmic grooves.

ALL NIGHT || OSCAR’S CAFE

8-10 || Fetch Sketch|| OSCAR’S CAFE
Scribble. Scratch. Sketch. Jamison Harper’s work is so fetch. Tonight, we are making fetch a thing at Art On The Rocks. You can take Snapchats & Instagrams with filters, but there is nothing quite like capturing your aura through the eyes of an artist. Immortalize that look you spent all day creating outside of the digital world and let Jamison Harper bring it into the real world.

8-8:45| |CONTEMPORARY GALLERY
MAGIC CITY FASHION
Strike a pose. Vogue. Vogue. Vogue. Birmingham couturiers are on the rise and we are along for the ride to the top. Brought together by Gina Grayson of 1SharpG, three of the town’s finest designers are bringing their handmade, elegant silhouettes for a night of questions, inspirations, and pizazz.

7:45-8:30 || SCULPTURE GARDEN
POP UP LIVE ART #ENSLEYALIVE
The Renaissance is Real. Magic has returned to the City!
Birmingham is bubbling with bohemian rhapsody; ENSLEY IS ALIVE and well. Flourishing in the Arts: Music, Spoken Word, Visual Arts, Graphic Design, Fashion, Food and International Commerce! Come join us in the Sculpture Garden to see some of Ensley’s best! Join host, Arden Blackwell, as the gardens come alive with spoken word by BStuc, music by Woodstock, and a live art installation courtesy of Art by Tay.

8:30 || UPPER PLAZA
NOTING INDIAN DANCE
Dancing Queen. Ninja Patel & Ching Sullivan. Feel the beat from the tambourine. Or Indian leather Ghungroo bells. You can dance. You can jive. Having the time of your life. Or once upon a time in the life of Snow White. See what we mean as we get down on the Upper Plaza.

7:30-8:30 || SCULPTURE PIT
CRAFTS ON THE ROCKS
Welcome to the Art on the Rocks Printmaking School! Class starts now. Your teacher, the Coordinator of Studio Programs. Your assignment, to ROCK.

9 || UPPER SCULPTURE PLAZA
BLUE HEALER
Born out of the belief that music should be fun, Blue Healer cruised into the Austin scene in 2015. Mixing distorted upright bass, shimmering guitar, analog synths, and drums, the Texas native trio blends a unique mesh of indie rock and dance sounds into the familiar fabric of classic songwriting. Picture the face of pop accessibility with the teeth of basement rock n’ roll – the songs sink in and don’t let go.

9:00, 9:20, 9:40 || DEPARTING FROM BOHORFOUSH GALLERY
LIGHTS. CAMERA. DRAG.
WHAT? There’s a dragon in the galleries? No, there’s DRAG in the galleries, and it’s going to be just as fiesta, fiery, and fabulous. Tag along with Birmingham’s finest Sharon Cocx to learn about things they didn’t cover in your college art history class.

10 || UPPER SCULPTURE PLAZA
THE LONELY BISCUITS
Feeling Lonely? Got the Summertime Blues? Biscuits are the cure and we are serving it up for one night only. Nashville’s own The Lonely Biscuits are cooking up some alternative rock with a side of jam. They’ve done Bonnaroo. They’ve done Lollapalooza. They’ve done Austin City Limits. And now you can see them at Art On The Rocks before their highly-anticipated full-length debut album is released in Winter 2016.

ALL NIGHT || UPPER SCULPTURE PLAZA
JUNIOR PATRONS AREA
You can find Junior Patron members in a prime location – in a tent right next to the band! Become a Junior Patron member tonight and reap the benefits ALL YEAR LONG. Celebrate with us tonight with free beer courtesy of Cahaba Brewing Co. and samplings from Tito’s Handmade Vodka!

ALL NIGHT || SCULPTURE GARDEN & UPPER SCULPTURE PLAZA
GET SOME PERSPECTIVE
The Body of a Goddess. The Head of the Headless Horseman. The Severed of Ear of Van Gogh. Who would you become, masked with a face from our favorite portraits in the permanent collection? Use these cutouts to create that perfect instagram-worthy shot. @bhammuseum #ArtOnTheRocks

#AFTERROCKS
The party isn’t over yet! Three downtown bars will host the official #AfterRocks party sponsored by H2 Real Estate. Head to Carrigan’s Public House, The Collins Bar, or Paramount Bar for drink specials when you show your Art On The Rocks wristband!
