Winter Break: Ski Posters & Après Ski Cocktails

Wednesday, Dec 9, 2020
7–9pm

Our Posters & Cocktails parties keep getting rave reviews, so we’re rounding out the year with one more night of great design and mixology!

Our Chief Curator will once again be hosting Nicholas Lowry of Swann Auction Galleries and Don Spiro of The Green Fairy Society over Zoom as they take us on a much-needed winter holiday full of ski posters and après ski drinks.

After Don warms us up with our first cocktail, Nicholas will jetset around the world, introducing us to all the major winter ski resort posters in history. As our glasses empty, Don will help us create the perfect ski chalet atmosphere with four more amazing beverages to warm our spirits against the winter chill.
