Series 10: Black Art Rising
Black creative voices in the arts are critically underrepresented. Throughout history, Black creators have shown us and continue to convey the profound power of their art, often using it as a vehicle to showcase the vital perspectives on systemic racism and the black experience.
LIFEWTR “Black Art Rising” series will bring that very celebration of the Black experience and creative expression to the forefront. This series will spotlight Black artists from diverse backgrounds and their creations that are inspired by urban impressions, lived experiences, and Black identity.
This is an extension of the LIFEWTR Black Art Rising time capsule, a digital immortalization of the arts of seven Black creatives and their art in hopes to showcase the powerful impact that Black protest art has on the movement to tackle systemic racism and injustice against the Black community.

When people see Roshi they say they see joy. I think that’s right – I want people to see joy and see happiness and see a black person simply living in the mundane and just being.

Series 9: The Art of Recycling
Preserving our environment and resources is more important than ever, yet awareness doesn’t always translate into action. Art has the power to engage the public and inspire action at scale.
LIFEWTR ‘The Art of Recycling’ Series, will bring recycling efforts into the public knowledge, dialogue, and action. This series will celebrate artists whose practices focus on upcycling, ecologic materials, and green processes, and who in turn inspire their audiences to reimagine how we live and interact with our environment.
This will mark LIFEWTR’s commitment to recycling by becoming the 1st US premium water to be 100% recyclable and be made out of 100% rPET by the end of 2020.
