MONMADE At The Big Pour!
Greetings Reuse Fans,
If you haven’t heard already, we have a very exciting partnership to announce, starting with our live art feature at the 11th Steel City Big Pour! If you aren’t familiar with MONMADE, here’s a snippet from their website:
“MONMADE is a network, platform, and program developed by the Craft Business Accelerator at Bridgeway Capital. The Craft Business Accelerator provides local producers (craft businesses, maker enterprises, design/build shops, and entrepreneurial artists) with greater access to capital, guidance, markets, peers, space, and workforce – the essential elements of business success. The initiative aims to create a vibrant craft manufacturing ecosystem that revitalizes the Pittsburgh region’s disinvested areas and produces quality manufacturing jobs.”
There’s so much to check out on their site, too. It’s definitely worth a look.
Now, back to the plans for Big Pour 11, we’ll have 4 MONMADE vendors joining us with some beer themed items!
Details on the producers:
Kirsten Lowe-Rebel
100% Hand drawn + Handcrafted, Kirsten Lowe-Rebel is the artist behind KLoRebel Art. She illustrates iconic PGH landmarks, cocktail and beer bottle drawings (2 of her favorite subjects) Talk with her about placing your own custom “boozy bouquet” drawing. She will also have prints, cards, coasters, wine corks and bar towels available to meet all of your gifting and celebration needs!
