Hotel Duval to host LeRoc After Dark

FIRST STOP OF FIRST FRIDAY’S ART SHOWCASE TROLLEY IS AT HOTEL DUVAL WITH “LEROC AFTER DARK”

What: Hotel Duval’s “LeRoc After Dark” is proud to be the first stop {or starting point} in inaugural First Friday’s Art Showcase Trolley. Stopping at five venues for a unique art experience that shares the local art presence and music community, Art Showcase Trolley, begins at Hotel Duval the first Friday of every month.

The hotel bistro, LeRoc, has created “LeRoc After Dark,” an intimate lounge setting for guests to relax, unwind and enjoy the opportunity to meet featured artists in the Art Cove with drink specials and tapas options, including Sweet Grass Diary Cheese trays, before riding the Art Showcase Trolley for the evening. “LeRoc After Dark” is greeting guests this week with live music by local guitar virtuoueo, Jon Copps.

“LeRoc After Dark” will demonstrate live local artist’s paintings, musical entertainment acts, poetry readings, various media screenings and artist instillations and galleries on the first Friday of every month prior to boarding the Art Trolley Showcase for the evening. Wine, beer and a signature cocktail {or Starbucks coffee and espresso beverages} will be served. Portion of the proceeds from signature drinks sold, such as The Starving Artist, will benefit a local arts foundation.

How: Art Showcase Trolley tickets - $5 per person and may be purchased on the Trolley

Why: “The positioning of this property and its design really plays to all of the senses and offers a tremendous artistic outlet.   We are proud to partner with the group of business assembled to bring the Art Showcase Trolley to life.
