Shaken, Stirred, and Celebration: UPH Showdown Marks 10 Years of Cheers for the Arts on May 15 

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Shaken & Stirred is back for its 10th anniversary. The event brings together talented local business teams to step behind the bar to shake, stir, and serve up friendly competition and community spirit – in support of the Collaborative School of the Arts at Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga Springs. 

The event invites attendees to support arts education by tipping their favorite bartending team. It begins at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, May 15, at Saratoga National Golf Course. 

Last year, the event raised more than $72,000. 

“This event isn’t just about great drinks and friendly competition – it’s about supporting the next generation of artists,” Teddy Foster, director of UPH said in a statement. “The funds raised go directly to the Collaborative School of the Arts, providing young performers, designers and technicians with the resources and training they need to grow and thrive in the arts.” 

The CSOA offers a wide range of educational opportunities across the Capital Region, including workshops, master classes and performance-based programs, helping students of all ages develop their artistic skills and build confidence in a supportive environment. Specifically, at UPH, CSOA brings Rock Camp to the Great Hall, giving young musicians the ultimate band experience, from rehearsals to a live performance. 

Admission to Shaken and Stirred: 10th Anniversary Edition is free, no cover charge. For more information, visit atuph.org or follow UPH on social media.
