Canned! by Holly Kimberly
“CANNED!” Is a celebration of collaboration presenting 10 illustrative beer can designs created by Holly Kimbrell for Derive Brewing Company and their industry partners.
Holly began creating labels for Derive in 2023 while working for the brewery as a bartender. Together, they have developed a repertoire of more than 50 unique cans in partnership with other craft breweries throughout the country and abroad.
Each label explores a world of its own, seeking to fully embody the unique vision behind the beer and its contributors. From demure cyborgs, to demonic cat-pilots, pastry astronauts and cop sharks, there’s something to suit every refined pallet. While the subject matter and style varies to suit the theme of the beer, the through line at the heart of both Holly’s art and Derive’s beer is full-spirited collaboration, ample creativity, and good humor.
In a moment where more and more are turning to AI over partnership with creatives, CANNED is a celebration of the magic that happens when art is brought into business, and shared over a pint of good beer.

“Botanical Bonds” by Maya Pinz
The plants around us, though overlooked, preserve the personal histories and untold stories we each hold. 'Botanical Bonds' explores the complex and often unacknowledged relationships between humans and plants, highlighting the connections we form with the everyday items around us. This series delves into the symbolic, emotional, and cultural ties we develop with specific flora, whether rooted in personal histories, generational narratives, or cultural heritage.
“Touch Bound” by Melissa Vogley Woods
My work comes out of my lived experience of being a multi-generational caregiver of 30+ years. These experiences range from single motherhood to elder care involving my mother's life-long mental illness and my father's dementia. I have experienced these labors that are often culturally invisible and undervalued while at the same time universal. Addressing this labor and the difficulties we can have processing care work is a very important topic today as we must turn back to our close community and family for help. My practice is aligned with my life as a way to delve into the intricacies of care within relationships with a specific focus on barriers and how we bridge them. I typically work metaphorically with artworks that span between public art, social practice, and intimate exploration of the object.
