Brick Store Museum hosting End-of-Summer Gathering

Tickets are available for the Brick Store Museum’s second annual End-of-Summer Gathering, set for 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at 117 Main St.

Participants can expect to find a trio of events during the gathering: a tasting tour of a variety of spirits including local wines and distilled beverages from Portland-based winery Eighteen-Twenty; a preview of the museum’s fall online auction (which kicks off Sept. 29); and live music by String Tide, a Brunswick-based string quartet.

An “Insta-bition” will allow guests to go behind the scenes to curate their favorite artifacts in a digital exhibit via Instagram (bring your own device or use the museum’s). Light hors d’oeuvres will complete the evening.

Tickets are $20 per person, $15 for museum members. Half of the ticket cost is a tax-deductible donation to the museum’s annual fund.
