Campari Creates returns with art installation
Posted by
Campari Creates returns, presenting The Mostra – a unique experience that invites guests to step inside a Campari-inspired art installation. Designed by abstract artist Mark McClure, visitors will be immersed in a constantly shifting environment as they explore the installation, whilst enjoying Campari cocktail creations. Running from 18th – 30th September 2018, Campari Creates: The Mostra will be located on Dray Walk, just off London’s Brick Lane, Shoreditch.
Mark McClure’s design has been inspired by the effect of light in a cocktail; the transparency of colour, the shifting light and the translucent effect that happens to the liquid within the glass. The unique design means that visitors to The Mostra will experience the feeling of being inside a Campari cocktail.
Crafted by Campari’s Italian Brand Ambassadors, the bar will serve three of London’s favourite Campari cocktails – the timeless Negroni, the perfect mix of Campari, Vermouth and Gin, the Campari G&T, a Milanese twist on the British classic, plus the Negroni Sbagliato, the ‘wrong Negroni’, with Sparkling Wine replacing the Gin.
As an extension of Campari’s commitment to championing creativity, during the residency, there will be a selection of Campari inspired events including the Campari Creates Lecture Series and Campari Creates: Perfect Cocktail Masterclasses. The Campari Creates Lecture Series will host a series of talks at The Mostra – from Mark McClure and a number of other creative minds. Tickets to the Lecture Series include a complimentary Campari cocktail.
