Thirsty Thursdays

Have you been longing to meet other like-minded people passionate about art? 

Thirsty Thursdays is an exciting event offered up to create an opportunity for like-minded people, namely the art interested folks, to get together in a social environment - a chance to share ideas, news, or just drink beer with friends and maybe put a face to the names that we see regularly. We will meet at different places in the Valley on Thursday nights about once a month. 

The first Thirsty Thursday will be held in Berwick at the Union Street CafĂ© on December 1st, 2011 at 7pm and stay as long as we wish.  Bring your own creative materials and of course your ideas on potential future projects.

In the New Year, Thirsty Thursdays will be held in Kentville at Paddy's Pub and in Wolfville (place to be decided). We hope that having different venues will give everyone a chance to attend.  Dates will be on the AKA website and an e-mail will go out to our mailing list.

Here's a photo from Thirsty Thursday which was held on March 22nd, 2012 at Paddy's Pub in Kentville. It was fun to gather with artists and talk about what we're working on, ideas for projects and life in general. Thanks to all who came out to join in on the conversation.

Cultural Map of Kings County Project

On Tuesday, October 25th at 7:00pm the Kings Regional Development Agency, in partnership with the Alliance of Kings Artists will be holding a public meeting to begin creating a Cultural Map of Kings County. 


A Cultural Map is used to visually represent local cultural assets such as studios, galleries, performance venues, heritage buildings, cultural events, stories, and museums to name a few. By identifying cultural assets and placing them on a map, we can help our community better appreciate and understand what and who exists in the cultural sector, and how our cultural assets can contribute to community and economic development. 


For further information about the meeting, to RSVP, or to learn more about the Kings County Cultural Mapping project in general, please contact us at kingsculturalmapping@gmail.com.
