Columbus’ most imaginative bartending competition returns for a fourth round—Art of the Cocktail Invitational: Volume IV—and this year, the stakes (and spirits) are higher than ever.

Join us for an unforgettable evening where top local bartenders face off in a one-of-a-kind challenge: craft a cocktail inspired by a selected artwork from the Columbus Museum of Art using premium spirits from Watershed Distillery.

Each bartender will interpret a unique piece from CMA’s world-class collection and transform it into an original, art-inspired cocktail. Attendees will sip, savor, and vote for their favorites as creativity, craftsmanship, and flavor collide.

Experience includes:

• Tastings of each competitor’s original cocktail
• Access to the Columbus Museum of Art galleries
• Music, light bites, and spirited conversation
• People’s Choice voting + Judges’ Panel awards

Tickets are $40 for members, $50 for nonmembers.

This event is 21+. Please bring valid ID for entry.
