The Art Hive in Prescott, Arizona, is celebrating its third anniversary with a disco-themed party on Friday, May 22, from 5:00 pm to midnight. Founded in 2023 by artist Cloud Oakes, the venue houses 36 artist studios and a fine arts gallery, and the event will feature the Tenant Spring Exhibition, open studios, art booths, live music, a no-host bar, and a '70s Disco DJ bash, with a people's choice award for best costume and best in show.
The anniversary matters because it marks three years of The Art Hive's role in revitalizing Prescott's contemporary art scene, providing studio space for local emerging artists and hosting monthly exhibitions and events. By engaging the community through free and low-cost programming during the 4th Friday Artwalk, the Hive has become a key cultural hub in the NOCO district, demonstrating the impact of grassroots art spaces on local creative economies.
