Community Calendar

Jennifer Price, Washington County Director of Elections, will answer a variety of questions concerning our local elections: what are the county offices and what do they do for the citizens; what is gerrymandering; what are precincts and districts for example. She will also explore the primary voting system and what changes were made for the 2026 election cycle.

The Machine Behind the Art: Inside JR’s Printing Press is one of JR’s most extensive immersive and experiential works to date. After taking portraits in one of three individual photo booths, visitors enter the interior of an oversized, whirring printing press – turning their image into a tangible work of art while offering a glimpse into the creative process of JR. After the experience, visitors leave with their own, one-of-a-kind print.

Member Perk: Momentary members receive two free prints per visit. Just reserve your timed ticket online or with the Box Office, and your discount will be applied at checkout!

Timed portrait tickets are $20 (Free for members), reserve your timeslot online or with the Box Office at (479) 657-2335.
Timed portrait tickets include one oversized photo portrait and admission for up to three people. Digital copies of your photo will be available after your visit.
If you do not plan on taking a portrait during your visit, no purchase is required to attend The Machine Behind the Art: Inside JR’s Printing Press.

Valentines Day is so overrated! The weather is cold, the restaurants are crowded...and sometimes the company is, well... disappointing.

Best Friends invites you to ditch the roses and the fancy menu and instead foster an adoptable dog for the night to enjoy the unconditional love and affection that only a pet can give.

"Finding Our Way | February 5 - April 26, 2026
The moment of arrival—what we carry when we seek sanctuary, transitions, and the crossing into safety. Sandra Spotts, artist. Jay Lane, artist. Familiar images made from various materials and objects, found and recycled, placed in a format of controlled chaos, is at this point in my journey, the medium of choice for the
“Finding Our Way” exhibit at Gotahold Brewing. I see society as satirical subject matter that exists in a surrealistic landscape of twisted perspective that is filled to the fences with social ironies. And yet, I still have to maintain my sense of humor about what has been and what will be with the activities du jour based on fear, war, greed, and hate. With this sense also comes my interpretations, expressed visually based on my
experiences, feelings, and health, from finding my way as an artist. I hope these pieces give you a sense of curiosity that you continue to carry with you while you are finding your way through all of this we humans call life."

We had so much fun last year, Let's do it again!

Join us for a deeply nourishing Heart-Opening Sound Bath, designed to celebrate connection.
Come with someone you love or come solo. This experience is designed to honor connection in all its forms.

We’ll begin with a gentle heart-focused Yin flow to soften the body and release tension, followed by a guided Yoga Nidra to ease the nervous system into deep rest. As you settle into stillness, you’ll be immersed in a restorative sound bath, featuring soothing tones and vibrations to support the heart chakra, invite emotional release, and cultivate feelings of love, compassion, and connection.

This evening is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself and/or with someone who matters. To deepen the experience, we’ll also be serving ceremonial cacao, known for its heart-opening and grounding qualities.

✨ All levels welcome
✨ No prior yoga experience needed
✨ Expect rest, reflection, and heart-centered connection
