Marking his next chapter, contemporary artist Louis Carreon enters the company of master painters at M.S. Rau in Aspen.
Carreon will host “Art, Wine and Iconography” from 4 to 6 p.m. Aug. 28 in partnership with M.S. Rau at 307 S. Galena St. He will also share the stage with Ori Soltes, a noted art historian and teaching professor at Georgetown University in a private reception Aug. 27.
