Raise a glass to the arts at Fresh Arts' Cultured Cocktails. This weekly happy hour allows guests to get up close and personal with members of the arts and creative community, learning about cutting-edge work and the people behind it. Boheme Bar and Wine Cafe donates a portion of the bar tab from 5 to 10 p.m. Cultured Cocktails was awarded "Best Happy Hour of 2010" by the Houston Press, though you will most likely find CultureMappers getting the scoop on what's hot and coming up in Houston's art scene.
