What’s that you say? All done with your taxes? Got everything filed before Wednesday’s deadline? Then you should celebrate tonight. Get out of the house and go see an art exhibit. Maybe drink a little wine.
Fortunately, HawkMan Studios has just the ticket. Tonight, beginning at 6 p.m. at Vintage Wine Bar & Restaurant downtown, you can attend a reception for artist Ricky Miller and celebrate the opening of “Sharp Edges,” a show of Miller’s mixed-media works. There’ll be live music and an optional $5-per-person wine tasting. Proceeds benefit the Shasta Women’s Refuge.
Take that, IRS!
