There are parties, and then there’s Art Beyond the Glass—a one-day fever dream where bartenders ditch the jiggers and pour their souls into something wilder. It’s the kind of L.A. event that feels like stumbling into a secret you weren’t supposed to know about. Equal parts cocktail-fueled creativity, underground art show, and reunion of the city's finest behind-the-bar talent.

If you’re looking for something polished and polite, keep walking. But if you want to see bartenders recite poetry, sling world-class drinks, and paint with the same hands they shake cocktails with—this is it, so mark your canedars for Sunday, June 29 from 3pm to 7pm at the legendary Catch One!

Need convincing? Here are ten reasons to grab a ticket before your friends do.

**1. Your Friends WON’T Have a Good Time Without You.**

Let’s be honest—no one starts the party like you do. This year won’t be the same without.

**2. Your Friends MIGHT Have a Good Time Without You.**

Worse than missing out? Watching your group text blow up with photos of you not being there. And you'll never hear the end of it.

3. It’s Where Bartenders Become Rock Stars.

Photography, painting, sculpture, DJ sets, spoken word—this is where the folks who usually pour your nightcap show off what else they’ve got up their sleeves. Spoiler: it’s a lot.

4. Every Pour Supports the Arts.

This isn’t some corporate tasting tour. ABTG is a nonprofit fundraiser disguised as a blowout party. Since 2012, it’s donated over $250,000 to arts nonprofits in LA and across the country that keep their cities' creative souls intact—from mural restorers to feminist art collectives and everything in between. Every drink helps create original art or fund a workshop.

5. This Isn’t Just a Tasting—It’s a Full-Blown Cultural Event.

Sure, there are cocktails. Amazing ones. But there’s also no-abv cocktails, live art happening in real time, people turning up in Y2K costumes, and music that you will love.

6. Day Drink for a Good Cause.

Every ticket helps fund arts education, mural restoration, feminist creative spaces, and more. Go ahead and get that extra drink. It’s for a good cause.

7. One Day. Infinite Inspiration.

Rooftop murals. Breakdancing. Polaroids. Tattoos. Neon installations. This is a living, breathing pop-up museum curated by people who pour drinks by night and create magic by day. Time it right and you might even get to see Raul on the mic.

8. You Might Discover Your New Favorite Artist—Or Become One.

Pick up a paintbrush. Step into the photo booth. Jump on stage to experience a snowstorm of fluff. Seriously, not sure what’s going on here, but somehow we are into it. ABTG isn’t a spectator sport. You don’t just attend— you experience it.

9. It’s a Family Reunion for L.A.’s Best Bartenders—And You’re Invited.

The legends, the up-and-comers, the old guard, the new school. They all show up to sling drinks and raise a glass—together. If you’ve got a favorite bartender in the city, odds are they’ll be here.

10. There’s No Other Event Like It in the Country.

Come out to support all the brands, staff, and bartenders who show up big for this event—volunteering their time, crafting unforgettable cocktails, and looking fly all for a good cause.

**Let’s be real—your friends will have fun without you.**

But they’ll have a hell of a lot more fun with you. It’s not just the art or the people—it’s that feeling, for one day, that you were part of something wild, weird, and unforgettable. The 13th Art Beyond the Glass is taking place on Sunday, June 29 from 3pm to 7pm at the legendary Catch One! Tickets are selling fast, so don’t wait.
