“ARTini” Fundraiser Benefits Elementary School Art Programs
For the second year, the Arts Council of Kern is shaking up the arts community by hosting the highly anticipated ARTini. Set twelve stories above the city lights, inside the Stockdale Towers, ARTini is more than a jackpot of fun for your taste buds, with artistic creations of some of Bakersfield’s most talented bartenders.
The mission of the Arts Council of Kern is arts access, advocacy and education - with the funds raised from ARTini the Arts Council will be able to provide access for local schools to have music programs, to try and make up for some of the budget cuts.
“With all the budget cuts for the arts in our local schools, the Arts Council is helping local schools fund programs in the arts,” says Jeanette Richardson, Executive Director for The Arts Council of Kern. “We appreciate the support for music in our schools. Everyone that sponsors or attends ARTini helps put music back into a Kern County school.”
This year’s Las Vegas inspired theme, “Viva Las Bakos,” will resonate throughout the night in Vegas inspired artwork, fabulous food and drink experiences. This could be the one exception of, “what happens here; stays here.” This time you can take some of the fun home with you.
Because there is “art” in bartending, ARTini will be having a friendly martini-making competition between local bartenders. Special guest judges and attendees are encouraged to vote for their favorite drink by sampling these unique concoctions. There is a cash prize for the winning bartender.
Last year’s event was a phenomenal sell-out. With just under 400 guests in attendance, this year’s attendance and evening is expected to be just as exciting, if not more, so get your tickets today!
