The Morean Arts Center and The Studio@620 continue to bring current art and issues to the community — this time, with a month's worth of advance screenings of Art21-Art in the Twenty-First Century, the national TV series with a focus on contemporary art. After the show, the host of WMNF's "Art in Your Ear," JoEllen Schilke, moderates a panel discussion on the episode's themes. Visit art21.org or studio620.org for more info. (Pictured: Art:21 production still of artst Oliver Herring at work) Thursdays through Oct. 23, 7:30-9:30 p.m., The Studio@620, 620 First Ave. S., St. Petersburg, free.
If local craft brew floats your sudsy boat, then the ninth annual OktoBEERfest is your cup of tea. Or, well, beer. The line-up of events include the brewery's Liter Release and Appreciation night, and a huge party that spills out onto the streets from Dunedin's tasting room. "Notoriously German food" and live music by Bump accompany the constantly flowing beers. Visit dunedinbrewery.com for more info. Thurs.-Sun., Oct.1-4, Dunedin Brewery, 937 Douglas Ave., Dunedin.
