What We’re Looking For: NAMI WC is looking for creators who are interested in submitting artwork or design ideas for mental health merch. We’re seeking designs (or ideas for designs — it’s okay if you’re not an artist but you have an idea that you’d like to share) that show what it’s like to live with a mental health condition and elevate the stories, perspectives and experiences of people who live with a mental health condition. 

Our Why: We see our merch as more than just t-shirts, mugs and stickers. Beyond raising money to support our free mental health programs, we hope that the products we create also help build community, start conversations about mental health, and raise awareness of our programming. When people see the designs on our shirts or mugs, we hope that they’ll see the authenticity behind the design and want to know more. Maybe they’ll relate to the design. Maybe they’ll have questions about it. Maybe they’ll want to ask about NAMI WC and take advantage of our programming. Maybe seeing that design will serve as a reminder that they’re not alone.

Selected Artwork Will Be Used For:

1. Merchandise: Your art will be used on a range of products sold by NAMI WC, such as shirts, stickers and bags. 
2. Social Media: NAMI WC will post about the merchandise on Instagram and Facebook.
3. Our online store
4. Outreach booths (TBD)
