Art Series
Amplified Voices
A series of limited-edition art that challenges the status quo, featuring artists and artwork that convey a sense of hope for a safer and more inclusive future. Banner Art: Milan Abad, Madrid, Spain.
A GLOBAL CALL TO ACTION
Our Amplified Voices series is dedicated to art dealing with issues of social justice. We are aiming to provoke challenging topics and create space for groups that are too often left in the margins.Â
Making beer has given us a platform and we understand that this is a privilege most don’t get to enjoy. There is an undeniable global call to action to fight injustice – particularly anti-black violence and inequality faced by BIPOC around the world. We intend to use our platform to amplify the voices that need to be heard to drive change.
We believe in the power of creativity and community. Our Amplified Voices series was conceived under our core belief that creativity can help make the world a better place and we are sincerely grateful to all the artists who have shared their creativity with us.
CREATIVITY + COMMUNITY
In addition to the art series, we are raising money through our Collective More. charitable initiative to help support three incredible organizations working to support Black and Indigenous communities in Canada and the United States:
The Black Legal Action Centre OntarioÂ
The Native Women’s Association of CanadaÂ
The Black Art Futures FundÂ
We have committed to donating $10,000 and have created a GoFundMe page for further community donations.

Headlines
“The news around the world is saturated with a lot of evil. The world has many challenges with almost every sector: pandemic, police brutality, race inequality, economic turmoil. Humanity needs to just stop and focus on the good and the advancement we have made as human to survive.”

Dancing Together
“Sometimes when I am feeling overwhelmed about the state of polarization, discrimination, and fear in the world, I close my eyes and visualize everyone on Earth suddenly dropping everything they’re doing and starting to dance together. This piece depicts that vision; a group of beautiful humans dancing together and expressing themselves in a state of love, peace, and excitement.”
THE PROCESS
We received more than 1,000 submissions from around the world during our three-month Call for Art: Amplified Voices. Any artist, in any medium, could submit for free, regardless of experience, location or professional status. Our curator panel then whittled down the submissions to select the final 36 pieces that make up the series.Â
