The A2AC is excited to welcome you back downtown for Artini 2024!
As we celebrate the Art Center’s 115th Anniversary, join us for the 15th Annual Artini, an Ann Arbor Art Center fundraiser! Once again, the finest downtown bars and restaurants in downtown Ann Arbor will create the city’s most artful cocktail. From 6:00pm to 10:00pm visit participating establishments and taste carefully crafted and innovative cocktails designed by some of the city’s top mixologists. This year, Artini Cocktails will feature spirits from the Ann Arbor Distilling Company’s Seasonal Gin series.
We’ve paired these downtown restaurants with a mural or alleyway installation from the A2AC Art in Public program and the A2DC to see what magic they can make, using public art as their inspiration.
