With a mission-based focus on art conservation, our Curated event raises funds to preserve and protect an object from our collection and allow guests an opportunity to learn more about our efforts to save Dayton’s art that the DAI treasures. This event features light bites by Bernstein’s Fine Catering, easy listening from DJ Street, and dozens of different cocktails created by our area’s best bartenders. We are excited to have the region’s best bartenders creating specialty drinks for Curated.

Each guest attending will receive a punch card with 8 tastings, allowing them to sample a selection of the drinks and enjoy small bites provided by Bernstein’s Fine Catering. Additional tasting cards are available for purchase, as is a cash bar for non-cocktail beverages.Each bartender participating will compete in two donate-to-vote competitions: Best Cocktail and Best Bar Decor. Winners will receive a prize basket (and bragging rights!). 

Curated will be held rain or shine. No refunds and no rain checks for any reason. 

Participants must be at least 21 years old, and must produce a valid photo identification upon checking into the event. No exceptions will be made.
