L.A.’s Top Bartenders Come Together To Celebrate Six Years of Cocktails, Community & A Great Cause!

Now celebrating its sixth year, Art Beyond the Glass VI is taking place on Sunday, June 25^th, 2017 at Los Globos in Silver Lake. The sixth annual Art Beyond the Glass will feature dozens of L.A.’s top bartenders making cocktails and showcasing their artistry, from painting to photography, live music and more, all while raising funds for the beloved storytelling nonprofit The Moth.

Hosted by whisky legend Martin Daraz, ABTG VI is taking place at Los Globos, the landmark nightclub located on Sunset Boulevard in the heart of Silver Lake. Opened as L.A.’s first American Legion hall in the 1930s, Los Globos is a massive two-story venue with multiple rooms and state-of-the-art sound and lighting. ABTG VI is taking over both floors of Los Globos, offering guests a spectacular, multisensory experience.

The Moth is an award-winning nonprofit that celebrates the ability of stories to honor the diversity and commonality of human experience, and to satisfy a vital human need for connection. To date, Art Beyond the Glass has raised over $98,000 for arts based nonprofits in Los Angeles, Oklahoma City and Chicago. ABTG will be returning to OKC in September 2017 and Chicago in the fall. ABTG will continue to grow with inaugural events in Las Vegas this fall, Miami in March 2018, and San Diego in Spring 2018.
