Agate Creatives

As we approach the end of the year, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your support. In the spirit of self-care and reflection, we've decided to take a break and will be offline for the rest of the year to recharge and come back even stronger in 2024!

Starting now, Agate Creatives will be on a pause, with plans to return on the second week of January 2024. Your enthusiasm and commitment have fueled our efforts, and we can't wait to come back stronger and more inspired.

While we're away, you can still check out our exclusive items on Bonfire - every purchase contributes to our mission and they also make great gifts. rb.gy/8vel7

Much Love,
Britt, Heather, Kathren, Marlena and Sarah

Introducing the "Unpaid Internships are Exploitation" tee, tailor-made for all you hardworking interns out there - past or present! As a team of museum professionals, we understand the struggle, and this shirt here was designed to make a bold statement against unpaid internships. It's time to reclaim the value of interns, raise awareness, and fight against these unfair practices that have plagued professional spaces for too long.

Your purchase of this or any of our new merchandise, will not only keep you looking stylish, but also support the incredible programs we are developing! From online workshops, and in-person traveling exhibitions (coming soon!) to maintaining our website and providing paid collaborations with other BIPOC creatives, every purchase fuels our mission.

Celebrating Juneteenth also means taking a moment to recognize pioneers of the fight for amplifying freedom and justice. Ms. Opal Lee, also known as the "Grandmother of Juneteenth" is a leader, changemaker, and true inspiration. Get to know Ms. Lee and her immense contribution to this momentous day becoming not only federally recognized as a national holiday, but for creating a wider path forward for future generations. Happy Juneteenth!
