'Brewed by Dallas' Live Art Installation Unveiled at Reunion Tower Using 1,400 Cups of Coffee
Odeko collaborates with local muralist Kyle Wadsworth to celebrate its launch into Dallas
DALLAS, Oct. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This weekend, Odeko launched into Dallas by recreating the city's iconic skyline out of 1,400 Planet+ compostable cups of coffee.
Created in collaboration with local mural artist Kyle Wadsworth (Murals by Kyle), the 8 feet by 11 feet installation took eight hours to create and consisted of six different shades of coffee, brewed by independent local coffee shops Cuppa Espresso Bar, Fiction Coffee and Pax & Beneficia.
The installation, which was creatively timed to celebrate International Coffee Day on October 1, came to life in front of the iconic Reunion Tower. Made using various ratios of coffee and dairy, oat and almond milk, the end result celebrated the multiple ways Dallasites take their coffee and the power of independents coming together to support the local community.
"The Big D is serving up some very exciting things in the coffee space, and what better way to celebrate than by recreating the iconic skyline," said Dane Atkinson, Founder and CEO of Odeko. "We look forward to helping independent coffee shops in Dallas continue to thrive and to relieve some of their stress on the back end."
"I've been creating installations with clients for over 20 years," said Kyle Wadsworth, mural artist. I'm drawn to projects that serve true purpose, and help to drive my local community forward, so partnering with Odeko for 'Brewed by Dallas' was a no brainer!"
