The Alliance for the Arts (AFTA) announced its annual fundraiser Arts on Tap, featuring a live outdoor concert by Florida native JJ Grey & Mofro. This year’s event will take place on Dec. 1 and includes local craft beer, breweries and food trucks.
Both longtime fans and those about to become dedicated followers of JJ Grey should purchase tickets early as Arts on Tap will sell out. Certain to be a memorable night, this event is only made better knowing that proceeds from Arts on Tap fund the Alliance’s programs, which ensure access to the arts for Lee County throughout the year.
