Inside this beloved watering hole is an old/new Art-o-mat®. This metallic dark brown and lime mid-60's machine will host 22 artists at any given time and the selections will change as needed. But, local and statewide artists are invited to help us keep this machine stocked. On October 2nd, from 5:00 until 8:00 pm, we will officially kickoff this machine to the public. The Esquire is located at 155 East Commerce St. To learn more about the Esquire Tavern - click here A collective of current Art-o-mat artists from Wimberly, TX will attend.
