Based in the heart of Skid Row, Inner-City Arts is a non-profit organization that engages young artists in their creative processes and teaches art education on their campus. Their mission is to engage the youth and give them access to the arts in order to shape a society of creative, confident and collaborative individuals.

The initiative is part of Blue Ribbon Studios’ 1000 creators program, which is committed to celebrating creativity by working with 1000 creatives that reflect the diversity of Pabst Blue Ribbon’s community. So far, the brand has invited bartenders to share their creations on their Instagram, hosted three art collectives at Blue Ribbon Studios, had artists host monthly Q+As via Instagram live, painted murals in Los Angeles, and commissioned dozens of independent artists for their ‘Grabst a Pabst’ advertising campaign. 

Blue Ribbon Studios and the 1000 creators program speaks to Pabst Blue Ribbon’s long history of supporting artists. For years, Pabst Blue Ribbon has featured emerging artists by showcasing their designs on millions of cans and packaging. In addition, the brand has awarded tens of thousands of dollars in grants to artists to help further their careers.
