COLLECTIVE ARTS Call for Art!

Twice a year the Collective Arts has an open Call for Art, and during the same cycle they release a new art ‘Series’ on their beverage cans. Each of their year round beers features four, unique pieces of art at once, all submitted from artists.

Assistant Professor Rahele Bell's work was one of the selected artwork for Collective Arts, series 9. It is SO FUN!

 WHAT TO SUBMIT

Artists are encouraged to submit their work that has been already produced to save time. The company mission is simple: "we use our beer cans as a vehicle to bring the creative class closer to the artists that inspire them".

Every year we've entered, we've had more work accepted into the show, which is a great feeling. Big congrats to all of our talented illustrators!
