The project

22 artists.
22 cities.One brand.

How do you translate an entire nation's passion for baseball through art? For the launch of Budweiser's commemorative MLB edition, Instagrafite carried out one of the most complex curations in its history. The challenge was surgical: finding artists who were not only technically brilliant, but true locals — residents of each city and declared fans of their respective teams.

We mapped and simultaneously managed 22 artists across the United States. From concept to final delivery, we connected the brand to the soul of each fanbase, ensuring that every can was a collector's item with the legitimacy of someone who lives and breathes the local culture.

A logistical operation that proved our ability to scale curation with depth and global precision.
