On display from February 16th - April 30th, Brewing Design is a collaborative exhibition between the Firehouse Art Center and the Oklahoma Craft Brewers Association, co-curated by Lisa McIlroy.

This exhibition will celebrate artists represented within the Oklahoma Craft Brewer’s Association and their artistic contributions found on can and bottle labels. The exhibition will highlight design and creative marketing from our local craft breweries.

 Oklahoma Craft Brewers Association works to strengthen and unify the Oklahoma brewing industry, which in turn provides design opportunities for artists.  Many breweries establish a customer base through innovative branding. Craft breweries experiment with many unique ingredients and brewing styles, generating the need for distinctive labels. These labels ultimately establish a brewery’s identity.

 The opening reception will be held on Friday, February 16th, 2024. A craft design panel and beer tasting will be held on Saturday, March 9th, and a label design workshop with Lisa McIlroy will be offered at the Firehouse on Sunday, April 28th.
