Artist Prompt: “Locally Sourced or “ Impact of the Brew”
Asheville brewers are very passionate about making beer and many of our natural resources contribute to that. It is not only the many ingredients in the bottle but inspiration from all aspects of the process. From our lakes & rivers to our flower-filled fields. Pollinators- bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, that make the honey that contributes to the smooth texture. To the farmers that plant the rows of apples, blueberries, pumpkins, & wheat. The flower farms contribute the smell of lavender, rose petals, and dandelion milk.
The summer sun beating down and the breezes of fall. The cool spring showers and the mountain air, although unpredictable, dictate the variety of our small-batch brews. But it's the fire that burns in the soul of a brewer. His determination, hard work, and never-ending passion. Always in search of the next best batch that will please the constant wave of beer lovers and bring them 3 deep to the bar. Always searching for that perfect brew that will stir a fire in the hearts of those who pass it through their lips and finally understand the passion of an Asheville brewer that is inspired by the whisper of the mountains we live in. This is the true meaning of "Locally Sourced".
Imprint Artists Collective is an organization of creatives who empower other artists with the tools to develop financial autonomy. This group of local artists and creatives believe in process over product and that the title “artists” is more than just being creative but a way of thinking. Imprint is striving to redefine and modernize the traditional apprenticeship model for today’s creatives. The collective provides workshops and programming designed to support artists: to discover and create through their own unique creative process, through artistic mentorship, through business coaching, and more.
