If you’re planning on sending holiday cards this year, consider getting them from Foundations of Print, a program run by Phoenix Print Shop that gives homeless and at-risk youth training in the graphic arts. Here’s some information about the program:
Homeless and at-risk youth from four cities across Canada participated in the 2008 Design Competition to design holiday cards. Entries were judged by professionals from institutions such as the Ontario College of Art & Design. Six youth artists received prizes based on our sustainable transit theme, including a one-year public transit pass and a commuter bicycle. Every card sold directly supports the youth artist, as well as the award-winning Foundations of Print training program.
