Quinn's Awkete pop-up shop!
Join us for a one night only art making experience! Quinn will be producing a t-shirt that will be available only that night. We'll also have t-shirts available for a small contribution, for young artist to try their hand at making their own hand painted t-shirt.
Quinn will be giving a brief talk on debate at ETHS, this is a perfect time for 8th graders who are going into ETHS to hear about the program! He'll answer questions about Afro-pessimism and critical race theory that he has been introduced to in debate at ETHS.
They'll be a slide show with people and images that been influential to him.
You'll be able to buy the t-shirt he's creating that night, place an order for his T-shirt #1, purchase a post card or make a donation to his fundraiser!
We hope to see you there!
[Backstory: A few weeks ago, Quinn asked me if he could got to a summer debate camp that focuses on issues of race and gender equity. I just started my business this year and I explained, that while we can't afford to send him, I thought he was old enough to start a business and raise some money. Quinn has started a small t-shirt business and he's very close to having all the money he needs. If you would like to learn more, see his 45 second video about it, buy a t-shirt or make a donation, please click on the link in the comments. Thanks!]
