In the Green Label Art project, Mountain Dew offers their aluminum bottles covered in an artist's work, thus merging the creative world of art with the lucrative world of packaging. Let’s face it, when a person goes to their drink cooler they usually see the same old thing. Mountain Dew’s Green Label Art not only helps artists survive but also brings art to the masses.
