The Ottawa Art Gallery (OAG), Giant Tiger and Kids Help Phone are collaborating for Pink Shirt Day 2025. Pink Shirt Day is celebrated every year on the last Wednesday of February to raise awareness about bullying. We are looking for youth ages 15-25 to produce a design for a t-shirt in a 2-part workshop series led by illustrator and comic book artist Andy Akangah. All participants will have their work exhibited at OAG in 2025 but one design will be selected for a fundraising t-shirt in support of Kids Help Phone to be sold in all Giant Tiger locations for Pink Shirt Day 2025.
More about the Workshop Series!
The 2-part workshop series on May 25th and June 15th from 10 am to 4 pm is designed to ignite your creativity and turn your ideas into professional-looking designs!
Workshop 1: Developing a design concept
Workshop 2: Digitizing hand-drawn work for clothing
If you’re a budding fashion designer, illustrator, or just love to create, and you want to put a stop to bullying, this workshop series is for YOU! Get ready to develop your skills, gain valuable knowledge, and see your designs come to life!
