ECAH x Driftwood Brewery

Rotating Gallery Wall

Driftwood Brewery has partnered with ECAH to give local artists a chance to showcase their work in a high-traffic space, and brewery patrons a chance to discover new local talent. Every 5-weeks you’ll see new contemporary, modern and pop art inside the brewery on Viewfield Road in Esquimalt.

About the program

“At Driftwood we know that feeling connected to a great-tasting product goes beyond just sourcing the best ingredients and creating innovative recipes; it’s also about being connected to a community that values hand-crafted over mass produced, and high quality over anything else. 

By partnering with ECAH, we’ll be bringing a rotating tap of contemporary artists to the Driftwood Gallery and showcasing fun, inventive and boundary-pushing pieces in a location that’s all about bringing people together with great drinks and great conversation.”
