Art Call

Your Art, Our Canvas...

New beer calls for new art, and we’re calling for you! We believe delicious beer deserves stunning visuals, and we know there’s not enough funding for the arts (duh!). Introducing the Artist Amplifier Initiative – AAI, not AI, baby. For each new beer, we’ve set aside a $1000 budget for the artwork. Your submission doesn’t need to be a new, exclusive piece – existing works are perfect! Since we don’t brew enough beer for all submissions (yet), feel free to shop your submitted pieces around, hang them in shows, or sell prints. No Submission Deadline. This initiative is an ongoing project, and we want YOU to be a part of it!

An Open Invitation to Australian Artists

At Aether Brewing, creativity fuels not just our beers but our identity. It allows us to express ourselves, share ideas, and build meaningful connections – and we want to share that feeling with you.

That’s why we launched the Artist Initiative – a collaborative platform to promote and celebrate homegrown artistic talent. At its core, the initiative features an open-ended Art Call inviting Australian visual artists, across all styles and mediums, to submit their works to feature on our beer labels. While we focus on crafting what goes inside the cans, we want to collaborate with you on the outside.

Let’s grow together – get involved and make your mark!

How to Get Your Art on a Can

We encourage both emerging and established visual artists to join us. Aether has evolved beyond our love for gothic street art to embrace diverse styles, as long as they translate meaningfully onto a beer can.

  • Submit as many works as you like, with a preference for existing pieces – we respect the time and effort that goes into creating something new.
  • While the Artist Amplifier Initiative currently supports visual arts, we’re eager to explore other creative avenues. If you have ideas for collaboration, let us know!

The Art Call is always open – no deadlines here! For submission guidelines, check out our Terms of Use.

How We Choose and Celebrate Your Art

We select artwork for new beer releases throughout the year, with 20+ new cans planned annually — plenty of chances to get featured.

  • $1000 Artist Grant – plus beer, merch, and promotion across our channels.
  • You Keep Your Rights – submit existing work and keep showing or selling it anywhere you like.
  • More Than a Label – we’re building art shows, print sales, and future residencies to support the community beyond the can.
  • Curated With Care – a small panel of artists helps us match artwork and beer so each release hits with authenticity.
