Bud & Mary's Batch Extracts Sponsors Denver's 2025 Rooster Art Fest to Support Local Artists

Bud & Mary's Batch Extracts brand is sponsoring the 2025 Rooster Art Fest in Denver, featuring live art demonstrations by local artists Joe Palec and Patrick Kane McGregor during the annual event at ReelWorks Denver on September 6. The sponsorship represents the cannabis industry's growing involvement in supporting local arts and community events, highlighting how legal cannabis businesses are integrating into mainstream cultural activities.

In collaboration with Blazy Susan, Batch is providing a YETI Tundra 350 Hard Cooler that artist Joe Palec will adorn with his distinctive black-and-white drawings valued at $4,200. Palec, who is also one of the featured artists behind Bud & Mary's Curated Flower product line's custom packaging, will create his artwork live during the event. Meanwhile, muralist Patrick Kane McGregor will create one of his signature dog paintings using Bud & Mary's Founder Chris Nelson's beloved Husky as his model.

The sponsorship demonstrates how cannabis companies are moving beyond traditional marketing to engage with communities through cultural partnerships. Rebecca Maestas, VP of Marketing at Bud & Mary's, stated that this type of communal art experience helps the company connect with customers and friends in new ways, which aligns with the company's people-focused values. Both artworks will be created live on site throughout the event, with Palec's cooler creation available to one lucky guest through a raffle at the close of the show.

The Rooster Art Fest is Denver's premiere street and urban art festival featuring more than 50 top-tier local and national artists, live murals, art battles, immersive installations, live music, food trucks, and a massive art market. The event will feature three music stages: bass stage, hip hop stage, and a singer/songwriter stage. For more information, visit https://roosterartsfest.com.

This sponsorship reflects the cannabis industry's maturation and normalization within community events, showing how legal cannabis businesses are contributing to local arts and culture beyond their core products. The partnership between a cannabis extracts brand and a major urban art festival indicates the industry's acceptance and integration into mainstream cultural activities, potentially paving the way for more cannabis companies to support local arts initiatives.

Bud & Mary's, which takes a science-driven approach to crafting premium cannabis products, has expanded its offerings into Colorado, Michigan, Iowa, and Missouri while maintaining its family-owned and operated roots. The company's involvement in the arts festival demonstrates how cannabis businesses are building brand recognition and community goodwill through cultural sponsorships rather than traditional advertising methods.
