Come on out with the Webster community celebrate these great student athletes and raise money to support cancer research!

Each year the Art Department create a new logo for stickers and buttons to give out as well as make garments that can be purchased. The term ARTFAM came about many years ago, and we feel that it truly represents what we stand for here in the Webster Art Department.

This year's design is inspired by labor union logos that have represented workers around the world for over a hundred years. There is a short history of labor unions below, with some examples of their logos.

We sell each garment for just over cost, and use the profits to buy the materials we give away alongside helping offset costs for our annual year end Art show.

We have tshirts (short and long sleeve), crewneck sweatshirts and aprons available to order. If you would like to purchase any of these, you can visit this link. You can pay via Venmo, PayPal, cash or check. Details are on the Google Form.
