After a two-year hiatus, Art Beyond the Glass (ABTG) returns for its tenth event on Sunday, June 26, 2022 from 3-7pm, at the legendary Catch One nightclub! More than 100 of LA’s top bartenders will make cocktails and showcase their artistic talents, with proceeds donated to Street Symphony.  Co-founded by Daniel Djang (Thirsty in LA) and Zahra Bates (Global Head of Education, Courvoisier), ABTG is the original celebration of bartender artistry and widely regarded as one of the country’s premier cocktail culture festivals.
