The 2021 Tales of the Cocktail Foundation Canvas Project, presented by BOMBAY SAPPHIRE®, is designed to celebrate that spirit of inspiration, fostering a national conversation about creativity focused on bartenders and the communities they serve.
Bartenders for this year’s challenge submitted a 90-second video about their creative passion—from stained glass to woodworking, cross stitching to leathermaking and beyond. 25 applicants were selected from North America.
There is no cocktail competition and no single winner; instead, using grant money provided by Tales of the Cocktail Foundation, Canvas Project participants will create tangible projects to showcase at regional events this fall.
Without further ado, please welcome the 2021 Tales of the Cocktail Foundation Canvas Project featured bartenders:
