About Marwen's Holiday Card Program
Every year Marwen hires a group of exceptionally talented high school students to design a series of greeting cards, all evoking the warmth and spirit of the holidays. Now in its 13th year, the program is a unique career-building design initiative that strengthens students' art-making abilities while exposing them to tangible business skills that can be applied to future professions in the arts.
Additionally, all of the revenues generated from sales of Marwen holiday cards fund our absolutely free high-quality visual arts education, college planning, and career development programs for Chicago's under-served youth in grades 6-12.
