When was the last time you looked at “The Dance Class” by Edgar Degas and felt inspired to mix up a little liquid libation? Does Auguste Rodin’s “Eve” send your soul into thoughts that are shaken, not stirred? Perhaps “Sunset on the River” by Charles Daubigny arouses your passion for pomegranate.
Whatever your taste in art, you might find its match in a martini glass during the Corcoran Gallery’s ARTINI Benefit that just got underway.
