Back for a second year, Curated offers guests an opportunity to sample a variety of handcrafted cocktails created by the region’s best bartenders. With a mission-based focus on art conservation, the event will raise funds to preserve and protect an object from our collection and allow an opportunity to learn more about our efforts to save Dayton’s art that the DAI treasures.

💵 Cost: $150
This event will feature several different cocktails created by local bartenders. Each guest attending will receive a punch card, allowing them to sample 8 drinks of their choice and enjoy small bites provided by Bernstein’s Fine Catering. Each bartender participating will compete in two donate-to-vote competitions, awarding winners for the crowd-favorite cocktail and the most creative bar decorations. Winners will receive a prize basket from the DAI, as well as bragging rights.
