Step Out Buffalo & WNY Artists are teaming up to bring you a brand new limited edition design, benefiting a new charity each month and showcasing Buffalo and Western New York.
July’s collaboration features WNY mural artist and graphic designer Nicole Cherry, the creator of numerous colorful, photogenic pieces across the region including Hertel Alley’s tropical standing Buffalo mural. Nicole’s Hertel Alley masterpiece was the inspiration for July’s Tropical Buffalo merch design.
The design is available in both a single color and multi-color version and is featured on a variety of apparel and accessories including but not limited to adult t-shirts, tank tops, and sweatshirts as well as youth and baby items for the entire month of July. Accessories include face masks and tote bags.
This month a portion of each and every item sold will benefit The Salvation Army in Buffalo, an organization that serves the basic needs of the community without discrimination by offering youth programming, food pantries, after-school programs, homeless family shelters, workforce development and individualized client case management to the WNY community at no cost.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Remember, you have just one month to get these limited edition designs, so don’t forget to place your orders by July 31, 2020.
Profits from the July merch campaign will be split evenly between our charity of the month, The Salvation Army in Buffalo; this month’s designer, Nicole Cherry; and Step Out Buffalo, the small local business behind the project. We thank you, Buffalo, for your continued and enthusiastic support of this new project and we’re so excited to continue introducing awesome designs to your Summer 2020 wardrobe.
Don’t forget to post photos of your new gear as soon as you get it and tag @stepoutbuffalo, @ladycherrytimeart_716, @buffalosalvationarmy and #stepoutbuffaloXartists!
