How to Get Tickets for ARTini 2026: Whimsical Wonderland

Chances are, if you’ve lived in Shreveport-Bossier for more than five minutes, you already know about the magical evening that is ARTini.

It is easily one of the most anticipated nights of the year, and we finally have the scoop on this year’s theme: ARTini 2026: Whimsical Wonderland! Who doesn't love a fabulous excuse to dress up, celebrate local art, and sip on the absolute best martinis our community has to offer?

Mark your calendars, because the Bossier Arts Council's signature fundraiser returns on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at LIVE! Casino & Hotel. Get ready for an unforgettable night where art, incredible flavor, live music, and a little Wonderland madness all collide for a great cause.

This year, our area's favorite local restaurants, bars, and talented mixologists will go head-to-head to create one-of-a-kind martinis and mocktinis for you to sip, sample, and vote on all evening. They’ll be competing for top bragging rights, including Judges' Choice, People's Choice, Most M'artisanal, and a brand-new category for 2026: Best Mocktini!

Your ticket gets you full admission to the event, a keepsake hand-painted ARTini glass, delicious heavy hors d'oeuvres, live musical entertainment, and unlimited creative samples from all participating bars and restaurants. Best of all, you get an official vote to help crown this year's People's Choice winner.

Beyond being the party of the season, every single ticket directly supports the Bossier Arts Council. This event is vital for funding BAC's year-round mission to enrich Bossier Parish through community programming, visual art exhibitions, hands-on arts education, summer camps, and direct grant and mentorship support for our local creative community.

So grab your friends, start planning those Wonderland-inspired outfits, and follow us down the rabbit hole for an epic night of sipping and supporting local arts. Whatever you do, don't be late for this very important date! Get your ticket by clicking here.
