Transforming Artistic Talent into Premium Retail Merchandise

The Art Faculty engaged DTC World to develop custom branded retail merchandise featuring original artwork created by artists on the autism spectrum. We adapted these unique designs onto premium J-hook foldable umbrellas with matching pouches. We ensured high-quality production that meets retail standards. These products not only showcase the talents of The Art Faculty artists but also provide them with meaningful opportunities for sustainable income.
