Complex problems demand creative solutions. But creative professionals don’t always receive the support they need to contribute to community-wide change. As a component of our community impact strategy, we launched the Get Artistic initiative in June 2018 in the hopes of strengthening Athens, Georgia’s creative community.
Our community-focused approach to arts patronage is driven by the belief that investing in individual artists is critical for building a community’s ability to practice creative problem-solving. Whereas Get Comfortable is focused on helping people survive, Get Artistic is committed to helping others thrive. We believe these outcomes—surviving and thriving—operate as two halves to a whole, each necessary to foster a healthy community.

Athena: Dayspring Edition – Q&A on the Local Farm to Beer Partnership
For the past seven years, Creature has utilized locally grown grain for various small batch and limited release beers. Beginning this past summer, we have further embraced this collaboration, now partnering with DaySpring Farms to source locally grown wheat to brew Athena.
