During the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving and Christmas, slow down and extend a greeting to family and friends. This collection offers a wide variety of images to choose from, and your purchase will support a good cause. All of the cards are handmade and revenue goes to funding Marwen’s free high quality visual arts programs. You can customize your greeting cards or incorporate company logos to send out to fellow employees. The possibilities are endless! Instead of being stressed with last minute decisions about holiday cards, get yours done early and support Marwen’s mission.

Marwen looks to educate and inspire under-served youths through the visual arts. This non-for profit organization offers a plethora of after school and weekend activities including: painting, drawing, ceramics, photography, video/animation and design arts. Marwen also provides guidance and encouragement in career paths and college choices. There are 10-15 shows presented in the two galleries at the facility, showcasing art made by students and faculty. This institution is special in that it uses the power of art to allow individuals to channel their energy and creativity while ultimately expressing themselves.

Cards come in two varieties: 4 x 6 and 5 x 7, and all cards are packaged in boxes of 12. Popular cards can sell out so hurry and order your favorites! Imagery varies from depictions of beautiful snowy landscapes to St. Nicholas overlooking at festive city skycrape. Look for snowy Chicago scenes and much more! If you need cards for other events Marwen has a whole non-holiday section as well. So spread holiday wishes and gratitude with these festive handmade cards and help support our young artists.
