Art in Spirits: Artist Talk with Gay Fad Studios
November 7 | 5–7pm | Soul at The Joseph
Join us at Soul at The Joseph for an evening of art, cocktails and conversation celebrating and the inspiration behind our fall cocktail menu, Art in Spirits.
Art in Spirits is a collaboration between Soul and three Ohio artists: Gay Fad Studios, Joseph Leonard and Joss Ford. Each featured cocktail is inspired by an artist’s work, bringing their perspective to life through flavor, color, composition and the creativity of Soul’s bar team.
For this special evening, guests are invited to go beyond the cocktail and experience the story behind the glass.
