Urban Art and Graffiti

Urban art and graffiti have long been forms of self-expression and social commentary. With Banksey’s stencils found globally to murals that grace city walls, urban art has become a powerful way for artists to make their voices heard. Despite the negative connotations that come with graffiti, it serves as a great expression for artists. 

Craft Beer

The history of craft beer traces back thousands of years and has its own rich history. Craft brewers emphasize the importance of using locally sourced ingredients and supporting small-scale agriculture, fostering connections with local communities. Craft beer and brewing in Washington has also created a sense of community by bringing together beer enthusiasts to support local brewers. The craft beer movement has seen a resurgence in recent years. Breweries have been popping up in cities and towns around the world, offering unique and flavorful brews.

An Innovative Collaboration

Urban art, graffiti and craft beer represent the growing influence of craft beer and contemporary culture. Diamond Knot Brewing is collaborating with artists across the country to release six new beer cans. These cans showcase the artwork of some of the most influential artists of our time. This collaboration has given rise to an innovative and transformative movement. The combination of art and craft beer and brewing in Washington demonstrates the strength of collaboration and the endless opportunities that arise when different worlds come together.

The First Release - Charms

The first release of the DogTown Collection is by a Seattle-based artist named Charms. Charms is a firm believer that everyone should create and consume art to share stories, ideas, and emotions. Charms grew up around Hip-Hop and graffiti gave him a sense of unlimited possibilities. Charms’ work often showcases natural inspiration, creativity, and power. You can support Charms and the Apex Cultural Center by purchasing his art online. You can also follow Charms on Instagram at Charmswon and online at www.Charmswon.com.
