The Bee Cave Bee

The Spicewood Arts Society’s popular Art Treks for the 2017-18 season feature three new adventures and a customer favorite.
 
The Art Treks, pre-planned bus tours to Central Texas arts venues, offer area residents unique experiences. This season sees a return of the extremely popular Painted Churches tour, a holiday visit to the LBJ ranch, a peek behind the scenes of vaudeville theater, and a trip to a metal foundry and new Lost Pines art center in Bastrop.

 
New this year, a ten percent discount is offered with season tickets for either all four or the first three treks. Single tickets can be purchased to one or more trips.
 
Sign up for any of the Art Treks at the Spicewood Arts website, www.spicewoodarts.org. Participation is limited and all treks have registration deadlines.
 
Treks include transportation, lunch, tips and any other fees. A light breakfast is offered with the Bastrop and Schulenberg trips and wine, water and snacks available on the way home. Buses depart and return to the Barton Creek Lakeside Clubhouse, 1900 Clubhouse Drive, Spicewood 78669.
