Art After Dark at the Copper Rocket..

Posted on by Thor

I went to The Copper Rocket Pub (106 Lake Ave, Maitland, Florida 32751) on a Tuesday night for Art After Dark, a showcase for artists of all media to come and strut your stuff. Vendors were on site, fine arts, street performances, fire breathing
demonstrations, handmade goods, and more on display. Free
Vendor spaces were available.

Ages 18+. Free Parking, and smoking allowed on outdoor patio.

I arrived early and watched the vendors set up. People sat outside drinking and smoking until the open mic began inside. OrlandoBands.com hosted the open mic. Performers were asked to sign up day of show. They had to bring their your own guitar amps, and outboard gear. Any tracks, were on on CD and USB jump drive. The waitress seemed to recognize me. I think she is a dancer with one of the local dance companies. I didn’t stick around for a second sketch inside. I was satisfied to just get a sketch done outside as people gathered and socialized.
