Project details
What we need
- Final designs for a predetermined type of promotional apparel (e.g., t-shirts, hats, shorts, other swag) or merchandise (mugs, pens, tote bags, etc.) provided in the high-resolution format of the Organization's choice
- Note: Printing and vendor sourcing is not included
Additional details
We actually only need a print ready digital design for a bandana this is in-line with our new brand.
What we have in place
- We currently have high resolution logo image and brand files with hex codes, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have sample image of what we have in mind, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,422 , allowing us to employ 13 youth blowing glass through trauma-informed practices for a month.
Firebird Community Arts just rebranded and we are looking to create merchandise to bring awareness to our new brand and the work that we do, as well as fundraise for our organization. Also, bandanas in a glass hot shop in the summer are extra helpful, because it gets HOT.

- Have all group members identified and ready to volunteer

Project plan
Our mission
Firebird Community Arts works to empower and connect people through the healing practice of glassblowing and ceramics.
What we do
Firebird's mission is to empower and connect people through the healing practice of glassblowing and ceramics. Our Trauma-Informed programs work with populations that are at highest risk for further violence, including violently injured youth and veteran populations. For these programs, we partner with organizations that provide clinical mental health and social service supports.
Firebird's Healing Justice Programs include both in-school and after-school CPS residency programs, free public workshops, and a program at a cancer support center and use art as a tool for both promoting well-being and building hope.
Firebird's flagship program is Project FIRE, an artist development employment program that offers healing through glassblowing, mentoring and trauma psychoeducation for youth injured by gun violence in Chicago. The program is in partnership with Healing Hurt People-Chicago, a hospital based violence intervention program that provides case management support to participants and leads the psychoeducation sessions at the end of every glassblowing class.
