Get a taste of the "old West" and Jacksonville's gold mining days when you step behind the counter of the oldest financial institution in the Pacific Northwest that began as a gold dust office in 1856. The Beekman Bank Museum saw over $40 million in gold cross its counters during the town’s heyday in the late 1800s—the equivalent of over $1 billion today. Interact with costumed docents sharing stories of late 19th Century banking practices, gold shipping, and handshake deals; step behind the counter and peer in drawers containing old checks, stage schedules, and paperwork; enter the vault that stored all those millions in gold! Allow 30 minutes.

Opening Reception: Friday, June 6, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Currently featured at ART on FIRST are emotionally charged narrative paintings by Carol Aust. Carol's compositions are filled with intense emotional stories infused with mysterious tension and secrecy. She often places her figures in precarious environments where anything could happen. Sometimes celebratory, sometimes lonely and disturbing, her paintings express a wide range of human desire and yearning. Carol’s artwork consistently features strong and vibrant colors along with figures that are both engaging and vulnerable.

Adult Intro to Drawing with Belinda Moffit
5 Sessions, Sundays June 1–29, 2–4pm

This class is perfect for the adult who always wanted to learn to draw (or who used to draw and needs a refresher course). A combination of instruction and practice will help you gain both skill and confidence. As you add notes and drawings to your sketchbook each week, you will build your very own, personalized ‘text book’. You’ll enjoy this high-encouragement, low-pressure class. Let’s draw together!

MEMBERS: $120 NON-MEMBERS: $130
Materials List for Intro to Drawing available on our website

Get ready for a night of laughter and heartfelt moments with the hysterical Broadway comedy Daddy’s Dyin’, Who’s Got the Will? This play promises to deliver a perfect blend of humor and family drama. With a talented cast bringing to life the quirky, endearing characters created by Del Shores himself, this performance is a must-see. Join us for an unforgettable evening as the Turnover family gathers to sort out their differences—and their inheritance—in this side-splitting, touching comedy.

We noticed that a lot of places in Ashland do something cool for First Friday. So, sure, we'll be followers this time.

We're calling it First Friday Flights! Or maybe we're calling it the Empanada Throwdown!

Either way, it's a music, food, and wine event that you should definitely join! Here's the deal:

Freshly made local empanadas from Caba Empanadas
Lovely fall wines from Resistance Wine Co (that's us!)

You could pretty much hang out all day if you want. But if you just want to pop in for a few empanadas/pours, you could have plenty of time left to visit all the other galleries.

Also, we have some art so you don't just have to look at that weird friend you invited... But, still, bring your friends.

$20.00 Wine tastings + whatever an empanada cost in 2025.
