What is Art on the Rocks?
The Art League has challenged local mixologists from Chadwicks, DRP Belle Haven, Hank's Pasta Bar, the Light Horse, RedRocks and Virtue Feed & Grain to each select a piece of artwork from the April "Orbit" exhibit​ as inspiration to whip up a new artistic cocktail and pair it with a delicious appetizer. Patrons are invited to enjoy the artwork/cocktail/appetizer trifectas and help select a new "Art on the Rocks" champion.

Ticket holders sample all of the delicious pairings and vote for their favorite at the event. A panel of experts, including a representative from sponsor Catoctin Creek Distillery, will crown the winner of the most creative cocktail, appetizer and artwork pairing.
