Art For Joplin

Good works from Moosylvania, a midwest-based marketing and ad agency, to raise money for rebuilding efforts in tornado ravaged Joplin, Missouri.

We can show you art and you can show Joplin hope.

Moose art directors have created a selection of limited edition designs to be purchased and screen-printed for $25 each - all of the proceeds from these posters will benefit United Way’s Small Business Fund, a project created to help in the economic reconstruction of Joplin after many of the city’s small businesses were destroyed by the tornado that touched down in May.

The sale has been extended through July 31st.
