Big Arts Happy Hour in Stockholm features artists, music, wine and beer

The tiny village of Stockholm, Wis.,, population 66, found itself with an unusual problem: too many artists, too little space.

“We have so many talented artists in the Stockholm area that we were running out of ways to feature their work,” said Amanda Scholz of the Stockholm Merchants Association. “Even with the high number art galleries and boutiques in the village, we wanted to do more to support our local artists. Then we hit on a solution: a series of art strolls.”

The next art stroll — a villagewide happy hour with artists, musicians, beverages and snacks— will be 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19. Admission is free.
