Shōsin Art Club

One of the online platforms offering remote education and inspiration is the Shōsin Art Club, created by Valentin Longo, an awarded Italian mixologist. This “club,” designed with collaborators from Longo’s extensive career, now opens its doors to anyone interested. Derived from Japanese, the name suggests a beginner’s mind—free from prejudices and expectations, yet open and curious. The subscription-based courses cover topics ranging from leadership and crafting menus or drinks to customer interaction and navigating the business. Notable among the experts accessible here is Slovak bartender Erik Lörincz.
