The bartender teams have been announced for Art Beyond the Glass III, taking place at Sadie Kitchen & Lounge on Sunday, June 29, 2014.  This year's Art Beyond the Glass features our largest lineup of bartenders, artists and performers to date, a testament to the deep talent pool within our cocktail community. ABTG III is taking over the entire venue, including Sadie's gorgeous new outdoor space, the Cherokee Courtyard. Proceeds from ABTG III will go to the nonprofit Mural Conservancy, to help restore the landmark mural by Willie Herrón III, Luchas del Mundo (Struggles of the World).
