About Connections Creative

GIVING TUESDAY POP-UP SHOP BY #CONNECTIONSCREATIVE

To help young creatives realize their economic potential and understand their entrepreneurial options, we partnered with five young artists to create a small collection of unique designs exclusively for Giving Tuesday.

Gifts with donations include apparel and accessories! Your contributions help raise awareness of themes unique to under-resourced young adults.

The Connections Creative design themes include:

  • Sleeping with one eye open.
  • Resiliency.
  • Social capital.
  • Connections.
  • Opportunity.
