A new record. A new perspective. A new way to experience the Alexander Gallery, where art and music meet. Mark your calendars the first Thursdays of October, November and December 6-8 pm for a vinyl night hosted by Odeon Collective. This event is free and open to the public.
Vinyl nights are October 1, Nov. 5 and Dec. 3, all during the Our Art, Our Region, Our Time exhibition at the gallery on display through Sunday, Dec. 20. The sixth annual exhibition, curated by Kathy P. Thompson and Walton Arts Center’s visual arts team, showcases 86 artists who are working in our region and the wide variety of work they create. Malcolm and Ellen Hayward are exhibition underwriters.
Though Odeon Collective has been in NWA for a little over 3 years, the group itself has over two decades of experience in DJing around the country. Whether being the official music curators for Hot Luck Fest in Austin, Texas, to hosting shows on KUAF, the Odeon Collective is the gold standard of vinyl DJing.
