  6 0 Several months ago, an asshole underage patron of the art walk was arrested for DUI and fessed up where she got the booze. (I call her an asshole for ruining nice things for those of us who are 21+ for no other reason than selfishness, in drinking free wine underage and driving while drunk.) Since then, the authorities have stepped in and demanded that galleries follow the proper law in serving alcohol to the public. They're supposed to get proper training and certification (or whatever they call it) for any servers of booze at the art walk. The costs involved for doing that are prohibitive, especially since they'd previously been offering wine for free, so I personally don't know of any galleries that have gone through those steps and are now serving wine again. keshmeshi answered in Artists/Shows 10 months ago | Report 1 comment by Russ Campbell, NWEBS… 1 0 keshmeshi has the answer.
