CUT & TASTE

If you’ve walked the streets of downtown New York below Houston Street, then you’ve passed by a Jay Riggio tag. Tröegs has worked with accomplished artists from across the country, including larger-than- life Philadelphia muralist Isaiah Zagar, surrealist Boston glassblower Stephanie Chubbuck, Harrisburg found-object sculptor Jason Lyons, and award-winning sculptor, photographer and mixed-media artist Ryan Upp of Cleveland.

The company first teamed-up with Brooklyn-based collage artist Jay Riggio for its springtime Art of Tröegs project, which asked friends and fans to create works of art from the brewery’s bottlecaps, cans, and labels. Jay’s piece—an upended landscape featuring a Hollywood pinup, prehistoric monuments, and dozens of tiny cutouts from DreamWeaver Wheat and Perpetual IPA labels—will hang in the new Art of Tröegs gallery, opening on July 14th at the Hershey, PA brewery.
