The Edwardsville Arts Center (EAC) is excited to announce this year’s ARTini Cocktail Competition will be held on Saturday, March 8, 2025 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the N.O. Nelson Leclaire Room. Presented by Breakthru Beverage, the ARTini Cocktail Competition is an exhilarating event that celebrates the fusion of art and mixology! Local restaurants will go head-to-head, each selecting an artwork as their inspiration to craft a one-of-a-kind cocktail masterpiece. The 2024 Artini Defending Champion, Mio Osteria, will be competing this year against Brick & Bramble, The Clubhouse, Cleveland Heath, Edley’s Bar-B-Que, Bin 51, Moussalli’s Prime, and 1818 Chophouse. Prepare your taste buds for a creative journey as these talented participants stir, shake, and pour their way to artistic perfection. At the event, you'll have the chance to savor these art-inspired concoctions and cast your vote for your favorite contender. New this year, favorite local artists will invigorate your senses, creating new artworks live at the event. Finished pieces will be available for bid at the end of the night. ARTini benefits the Edwardsville Arts Center to support our community art programming through free outreach, art education, free Saturday classes for kids, ARTEAST Studio Tour, and the Edwardsville Art Fair.
