Collective Arts Launches Community Investment Campaign to Expand Artist-Driven Beverage Platform

Canadian creative beverage company invites the public to become shareholders through equity crowdfunding on FrontFundr

Hamilton, ON – July 14, 2025 – Collective Arts Brewing, the Canadian beverage company known for merging craft beverages with emerging art, launched a community capital campaign on FrontFundr, Canada’s leading equity crowdfunding platform. The campaign opens investment to the public, starting at $250 CAD, allowing customers, artists and fans to become shareholders in the fast-growing, creativity-driven brand.  

The offering is open to Canadian residents, with investments starting at $250 CDN. Perks for investors include invites to the brand’s shareholder events, limited-edition products and branded merchandise.

Founded in 2013, Collective Arts has grown into a multi-category brand offering craft beer, ready-to-drink cocktails, non-alcoholic beer and functional beverages. Each product is wrapped in artwork from one of over 2,000 emerging artists from around the world. 

“We started Collective Arts to change what the beverage industry could be—not just in taste, but in spirit,” said Matt Johnston, CEO and Co-Founder. “This campaign gives the people who’ve supported us since day one—our community, our artists and our customers— an opportunity to own part of what we’re building next.” 

Built on Creativity and Purpose, Collective Arts has become one of Canada's most celebrated independent beverage companies:

• #1 Craft Brewery by Revenue at LCBO
• #1 Craft Non-Alc Beer Brand at LCBO
• Winner of international awards for spirits and RTDs
• Over $1M paid directly to artists whose work is featured on its packaging

Investment to Drive Strategic Growth

Proceeds from the community capital campaign will support Collective Arts’ next phase of expansion:

• Growing the sales team and deepening retail and e-commerce reach
• Increasing production capacity and operational efficiency
• Launching new beverages across alcoholic, non-alc, and functional categories
• Investing in artist collaborations and cultural programming 

“Consumers today expect more from the brands they support. They want quality, authenticity and cultural relevance,” said Johnston. “Collective Arts is uniquely positioned to meet that demand and this campaign brings our community into the centre of that mission to an even greater degree.”

The company currently operates hospitality spaces across Ontario with venues in Hamilton, Toronto and Cambridge.
