Freedom of Expression

CALLING ALL ARTISTS!! At Boyd Cru Wines we believe self-expression is a part of discovering what wines you like as well as exploring your palate. Similar to art, wine tells a story and oftentimes no two stories are the same but it's the collective experience that unites us all. This is why we are excited to partner with artists all over DMV Area for this Wine Label Art Design Contest.

If you are an artist, here's your chance to partner with Boyd Cru Wines, one of the fastest-growing wine companies that is founded on building community, fostering connection, and promoting self-care and self-expression, to create artwork for our next wine label for our brand new sparkling wine which will be released later this year, just in time for the holidays.

Here are your Top 6 Finalists!

Shanklin Hall

This contest is in collaboration with Shanklin Hall, a social club that pulses with creativity, community, and wellness right in the heart of Washington, D.C.

Shanklin Hall breaks barriers. It’s not just a venue; it’s a movement—a space where Black economic prosperity thrives. It’s where partnerships form, where voices amplify, and where the heartbeat of D.C. pulses. So, whether you’re an artist seeking inspiration, a wine enthusiast, or simply someone hungry for community, Shanklin Hall invites you to join the symphony.

Founded in 2019 by a group of friends and siblings, Shanklin Hall emerged with a clear purpose: to revive community-spirited events with their unique flavor.
