Art Beyond the Glass

Art Beyond the Glass (ABTG) was created to showcase the artistic pursuits of bartenders outside of their bars. During ABTG festivals, everything from the cocktails to the art and music is created and performed by bartenders. Proceeds from every ABTG event are donated to a cultural nonprofit organization. Since its founding in November 2011, ABTG has donated more than $210,000 to nonprofits across the country.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ABTG launched the COVID-19 Relief Fund to support Los Angeles bartenders in financial need. Applications and donations are being accepted at the ABTG COVID-19 page.
