Get ready for one of the best parties of the year! The 2018 Artini, the official kickoff for this year’s Arts Month campaign, will take place on
Friday, September 28 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm at The Mining Exchange Hotel (and the adjacent Gold Room). Hosted annually by the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region, the Artini is a free, community celebration with live entertainment on multiple stages, lots of mixing & mingling, and the opportunity to sample signature martinis created by some of the area’s top mixologists.
Art + Martini = Artini!
The Cultural Office is excited to announce that
Grant Sabin and the Juke Joint Highball will be the headlining musical act at the 2018 Artini! Grant and his band will be playing two long sets in the Gold Room from 5:45-8:30 pm. In addition, the 2018 Artini will feature live performances, a DJ with dancing, a fashion show, aerialists, body painting, food trucks, tarot card readings, a photo booth station, hands-on art activities, and more! Throughout the evening, local mixologists from the 365 Grand Club properties will be creating their signature martini drinks, and competing to earn the title of
“Best Artini Martini 2018.” Free tastings will be available, and voting by Artini attendees will determine this year’s winner. Multiple cash bars and food stations will also be open for your drinking and eating pleasure throughout the event.
