Magic City Post & ShopBirmingham.com have commissioned a series
of three iconic 'Birmingham' posters. Each poster focuses on an event
or place that helps cast Birmingham in the positive light that it
deserves on the national stage.
Free the Hops is our next poster partner. We believe they have helped band together the local craft brewing community, and a lot of laws got changed as a result of their efforts. Free the Hops will receive 20% of the purchase price of each poster
to be used for the organization's general fund, which provides the local craft brewing community with events, political support, and educational information. The rest of the funds go to pay the Artists,
printing the poster, and what's left over will help market our local
independent businesses and their products to people all over the country
on ShopBirmingham.com.
This is a 20" X 16" four color silkscreen poster, printed with
non-toxic water based ink, and printed on Accent Opaque White 100# coverstock. Signed and numbered edition of 100 prints. The poster was
designed by Artists Hero, and they've completed commissioned pieces for
the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other cultural institutions across
the country.
The bottom center of the poster has a silkscreen sig that reads
"Birmingham Brewery Movement 2012. Commissioned by Magic
City Post & ShopBirmingham.com in partnership with 'Free the Hops'.
Also included is a small design that reads Designed and Hand Printed by Hero
Design Studio. HeroandSound.com." The poster is
numbered 10/100, etc. and also signed by Hero.
This poster looks great in an espresso frame. 20" X 16" is a standard poster size. It also looks great with a 3" mat.
We may offer an unsigned edition of this poster, or perhaps a different color scheme, in the Spring of 2012.
We encourage you to visit http://freethehops.org
to learn more about all the great events they have going on. A Free the Hops membership starts at $25 for general and then goes to $100 for sustaining (businesses or those who want to give more). It's the perfect companion to this poster. This purchase does not include a membership.
