Merch for Mutual Aid was a community screen printing event and gallery show designed and planned in collaboration with Ellen Voorheis, benefiting local mutual aid organization Bed Stuy Strong.

Hosted at The Living Gallery in Bed Stuy, Merch for Mutual Aid was a magical day of printing, looking at art, and hanging out. Four local artists created original designs to be printed on tees and totes, and 45 additional artists donated pieces to be displayed and sold at the event. We were able to raise over $4.5K for Bed Stuy Strong to support their community efforts.

This project was made possible by Athletics’ Innovation Grant. See our original proposal here.
