LIFEWTR recently debuted the new Black Art Rising Series – a limited-edition collection of premium bottled water that highlights the work of Black, purpose-led artists. The artists include Haitian-American multimedia artist Adler Guerrier, Nigerian American artist Dawn Okoro, and New York and New Haven based visual artist Tajh Rus. The Black Art Rising Series is available to purchase from Amazon and Publix in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
Moreover, LIFEWTR is committed to using its platform to spotlight the work and voices of emerging artists since it recognizes that not all creators receive the same opportunities. "LIFEWTR will be making $30k donations on behalf of each of the three featured artists (for a total $90k donation) to local institutions that will help further support Black artists, and their artistic representations of the Black experience, history and culture."
