Imagine how cool it would be to design your own beer label. For a few lucky artists including Grammy-Award winning artists Kid Cudi, American fashion designer Marc Eckō, musician Willis Earl Beal, Date Farmers and the TM Sisters, the opportunity to be among an elite few who can claim to have their own beer label has arrived thanks to Beck’s.
A long-time supporter of the arts and a champion of independent thinking, the Beck’s Art Labels Program has given professional artists the opportunity to share their vision with the world by placing the artist’s original work on more than 13.2 million beer labels. For 25 years, they have supported artists who make their own way in the world and who stand apart from the crowd. The six artists that were chosen to be a part of this year’s Beck’s campaign all offer something unique and we encourage you to watch the ‘Live Beyond Labels’ video below to learn more about them.

“It’s especially engaging when art is unexpected – when it finds you when you’re not looking for it,” said Kid Cudi, Grammy-Award winning hip-hop artist and songwriter. “I want beer drinkers to pick up my bottle of Beck’s and be surprised. I want them to think, explore and express themselves with their own art.”
