Eco Friendly Fashion Works for ArtPrize Volunteers

By

Thanks to an idea from our Presence Marketing team, the volunteers working at The Hub during ArtPrize are wearing the latest in eco fashion. If you look closely at their aprons, you’ll see that we created them from the same fabrics we use on our chairs.

In a quandary about what to do with extra fabric from our Greenhouse seating production facility, the team decided to literally put it to work.

With the design and sewing expertise of the Greenhouse cutting department, more than 100 volunteer aprons now are a part of our sponsored space at The Hub.

It’s a project that required the help of several people, including Jill Woods who works at the Greenhouse. Adds Jill: “I was thrilled to be one of the links in this effort to connect the community, the workplace, and people in a collaboration that ultimately will be enjoyed by thousands of visitors during ArtPrize.”
