Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Partnership with the Art Institute of Pittsburgh

We’re very excited to announce we are partnering with the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in the release of designs celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, Pittsburgh style! From the press release from AiP:

In celebration of Pittsburgh’s Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade Wear Pittsburgh and The Art Institute of Pittsburgh have teamed up to bring you the greatest Yinz Irish t-shirts of all time. These shirts aim to honor the heritage and passion Pittsburghers have while celebrating this annual event. Each shirt captures the Pittsburgh Irish theme in a unique and clever way.

The challenge of reinventing the St. Patrick’s Day theme was set before a group of honor students at The Art Institute. The Design Studio class has accepted and excelled at many local design challenges, taking this year’s St. Patrick’s Day in stride. Ultimately the designs from student Lizz Guriel were chosen for production.

A portion of the proceeds  will benefit The Art Institute of Pittsburgh’s Education Foundation, creating scholarships for students.

WearPittsburgh will give half the proceeds back to the Art Institute education foundation to invest in the next generation of art students.

The first design is available now and is called 412Irish. And, if you pick one up between now and March 12th, you can use discount code MARCHSALE and save 15%!

Look for other AiP/St. Patrick’s Day designs coming very soon!
