Ray Charles Tribute Pop-Up at Fixins Soul Kitchen

As part of Black History Month, Oak Park Brewing Co. and Peoples Beer partnered with The Ray Charles Foundation to release a special non-alcoholic brew honoring the legendary musician. The limited-edition beer was featured at a special pop-up event at Fixins Soul Kitchen in DTLA.

We were commissioned to design and transform the space for this tribute experience. We reimagined the restaurant’s interior with Ray Charles album covers, installed large-scale wall graphics, and incorporated die-cut lettering of his most memorable quotes throughout the space. To further immerse guests in the tribute, we created a custom road case, replicating those used during Ray Charles’ tours. This case served as a unique display for event merchandise, blending storytelling with functional design.
