At the start of the Pandemic and shut-down, Ned was looking for anything he could do to help.  Among other things he decided to commission a local artist to make a piece of art referencing the situation.  Ned’s inspiration came from the Works Project Administration of the Great Depression and a desire to help support the local arts community.  The single piece of art quickly became four, each from a different artist.  As Ned started talking to the artists, he began to wish there was a way for the art to be more public so that it could have a broader impact.  That was when he had the idea of putting the pieces of art on T-Shirts and selling them to raise money for unemployed hospitality workers.
