About ARTini
Set for August 24 at 6:00 p.m. in Bank Court, ARTini is a celebration of the “art of spirits” featuring live music, raffles, and much more. Local “mixologists” will be invited to create unique martinis and compete for the coveted title of “Judges’ Choice,” “People’s Choice,” and “Most M’artisanal.” ARTini celebrates various forms of creative expression and encompasses the culinary, musical and visual arts. Because space in Bank Court is limited, only 200 tickets will be available for $35 each. One martini glass, which has been hand painted by a local artist, will be included with the admission price, along with 5 martini samples and heavy hors-d’oeuvres. Tickets for the event will are on sale now at the URA office and Chamber of Commerce
