Art of the Perfect Negroni

Overview

Underground CBD steakhouse Bistecca will be transformed into an art gallery for negroni week. Last week, it commissioned five artists — pop artist Saint Ali, painter Marissa Mu, landscape artist John Sheehy, designer Jesse Chick and portrait painter Sangeeta Saras Lachmaiya — to create a piece of art live in the space.

And, from June 17–28, that art will be auctioned off to a charity of each artist's choice. Punters can peruse the artwork with negroni in hand, and choose to bid on one, too. You can check on the current bids at the Bistecca website, with the winners will be announced on Friday, June 28.

For the strictly negroni side of things, the Bistecca team has created a Four Pillars version, with $1 from each drink donated to Orange Sky, a charity that aids homeless people across Australia.
