Audain Art Museum presents Out of Control Winter Après on December 10 from 3 to 6 pm
THE SLOPES ARE open at Whistler Blackcomb, gondolas spinning for the 2022-23 ski and snowboard season. Some fans of fresh tracks will admit to saying that après ski is the best part of the day, and you don’t have to partake in outdoor winter sports to hit this weekend’s event at Audain Art Museum.
Out of Control Winter Après is a chance to take in food, drinks, and art all in the Patkau-designed building just steps from Olympic Plaza. Before or after mingling and snacking, guests will be able to take in Out of Control: The Concrete Art of Skateboarding. The exhibition, which runs to January 8, 2023, reveals the intersection between contemporary art and skateboarding. The show’s 19 local, national, and international artists explore the aesthetic, social, environmental, political, and architectural aspects of the pursuit. Read Stir’s feature on Out of Control here.
Picnic Whistler is providing sustenance for purchase; the deli is known for its charcuterie and grazing boxes and boards. People who purchase admission to the museum get a beverage voucher.
