The Bossier Arts Council hosted its annual libations fundraiser, Artini, at Louisiana Downs on June 10. The vibe of this year’s event was the 1980s, and local artist Paige Powell produced the poster artwork for the party. More than a dozen local restaurants were on hand to serve their signature martinis in hopes of winning the Best Martini Award. This year, the Most M’artisanal martini was by Pepito’s XO, Judges Choice and People’s Choice awards went to Bear’s. Money raised at the event directly benefits the Bossier Arts Council.
