OPENING | 'RIPE' A Wine Show About Art Tasting

Fine wine is an art. This is the inspiration behind RIPE, a wine show about art tasting, coming to Crewest.

As an art gallery exhibition, RIPE will transform wine barrels, wine bottles and even wine corks into cutting-edge contemporary art created by some of today’s most exciting urban and graffiti artists. These and other exciting contemporary artists will paint, draw and/or sculpt their unique creative vision onto used wine barrels, bottles and corks, transforming them into one-of-a-kind pieces of art available for purchase.
