Thanks @stlmag for the "Schlafly Tap Room hosts Art InSide this weekend" article! A bit of what they wrote: 👇 The folks at Schlafly had so much fun last year at Art InSide, they’re doing it again. The three-day party takes over Downtown West’s Schlafly Tap Room with art, music, tattooing, Schlafly suds and vittles, and party vibes. “We’ve been doing Art Outside for years and said, ‘Well, heck, when it’s cold outside, why don’t we do Art InSide?’” says John Elafros, Schlafly’s private events manager. “This is the second year we’re doing this. Last year was a wild success—it was awesome! We filled our entire second floor with artists.” stlmag.com/culture/schlaf…
