Hello Austin!
⠀
We're kicking off May with something special that we've been sitting on for some time now. It's something we are VERY proud of, and opens the door to working with and supporting up-and-coming designers and artists.
⠀
We are honored to announce our SAGE Studio x DIRTY Bills collaboration!
SAGE Studio is a studio and gallery for adults with disabilities located here in Austin, Texas. Created in 2017 and spearheaded by Lucy Gross and Katie Stahl, they are passionate about integrating artists with disabilities into the contemporary art scene in Austin.
We worked together to have one of their artists come up with something very special and unique for the bar.
⠀
Our featured artist, Rick Fleming, is an accomplished portrait artist, drummer, and former bodybuilder. Rick is equally adept in drawing and painting. With his signature humor and standout line work, he uses images and text to capture the essence of his subjects. His work is in private collections across the country and has been represented at New York City’s Outsider Art Fair, the premiere art fair in the world for self-taught artists. Rick was recently commissioned by the Joe Biden campaign to draw a portrait of the President to be reproduced as an official Biden tote bag and since then Rick was able to design a shirt that we are all so excited about releasing next month.
⠀
Available in a black and white shirt option, ALL proceeds go directly back to SAGE Studios! In addition, the first 100 shirts come with a free limited edition gnome poster, also created by artist Rick Fleming.
⠀
The SAGE x DIRTY collaboration is available RIGHT NOW online (link in bio) and at our bar.
⠀
It will go fast, so jump on it!
