What is Art on the Rocks?

Art on the Rocks 2014

The Art League has thrown down the gauntlet! We’ve challenged local mixologists from Chadwicks, Columbia Firehouse, GBD Fried Chicken & Donuts, Mason SocialRedRocks Neapolitan Bistro, and Virtue Feed & Grain to each select a piece of artwork as inspiration to whip up a new, artistic cocktail & pair it with a delicious appetizer. Enjoy the artwork/cocktail/appetizer trifectas and help us select a new Art on the Rocks champion!

Ticket holders sample all of the delicious pairings and vote for their favorite at the event. A panel of experts, including representatives from Catoctin Creek Distillery, Green Hat Distillery and the Hour Shop, will crown the winner of the most creative cocktail, appetizer, and artwork pairing.

Jams by DJ Ayes Cold will complete the evening.

Participating Restaurants:

Virtue Feed & Grain, GBD, Chadwicks, Columbia Firehouse, Redrocks Neapolitan Bistro, and Mason Social
