[title]In celebration of Peroni Nastro Azzurro's tradition of craftsmanship, it is setting up its very own art installation. At The House of Peroni you can explore virtual artworks blending art and technology, plus grab a drink and a snack as you relax at the bar, with bespoke cocktails from mixology maestro Simone Caporale. Entry to the bar is free, with the virtual reality art experience available on a first come first served basis.
Awesome art ...
The House of Peroni will open on Castle Street for three immersive, art-filled days. So what to expect? Peroni Nastro Azzurro has got together with London-based art innovators the Beautiful Crime Agency to commission three cutting-edge artists to create a VR Art Experience. Each artist has created a bespoke virtual artwork, using innovative new tech from Tilt Brush by Google. And if visitors like what they see? Well, they're invited to give it a go themselves.
... from awesome artists
British artist Carne Griffiths joins two stars of the Italian art world, 2016 Lumen Prize winner Fabio Giampietro and graffiti artist Peeta. Expect anything from abstract cityscapes and perspective-bending takes on the idea of a metropolis to graffiti that takes Venetian Murano glassware as its muse.
Get into art and create art
During the VR Art experience you can view artwork from the commissioned artists. Then, using Tilt Brush by Google, get right inside the piece and have a go at creating virtual art of your own. The experience is free, but places are limited, so sign up when you enter.
The House of Peroni bar
And then there's the bar. Award-winning mixology maestro Simone Caporale will be returning to showcase just why he's regarded as one of the best in the business – think Peroni Negronis or a Peony Bellini, with crisp white peach, grape, peony and magnolia flower, all served in a gorgeous bar created by renowned set designer Petra Storrs, who has brought her unique visual style to clients including Lady Gaga and the V&A Museum. The bar is free to enter.
The House of Peroni takes up residence at Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 from Thursday March 30 to Saturday April 1.
Thu-Fri 5pm-10.30pm
Sat Noon-10.30pm
No admission fee. 18+ only.
