Details

Flags for the City is a three-month youth silkscreen workshop that uses the flag as a unique vehicle for expression. We are working bi-weekly with the gifted art class at G.W. Carver to develop imagery and to master a range of screen printing techniques. Each student designs and prints multiple flags, and as a class we are sewing them together to create colorful strands to hang around the city.

We are looking for other locations to hang our students' hand-printed flags!

The flag of the United States is one of the nation's most widely recognized symbols. Within the U.S. it is frequently displayed, not only on public buildings, but on private residences. It is also used as a motif on decals for car windows, and clothing ornaments such as badges and lapel pins. Throughout the world it is used in public discourse to refer to the U.S., not only as a nation, state, government, and set of policies, but also as an ideology and set of ideas.
So let's buy our flag even if it needs to get loan til payday and place on our home.

Let us all united for our country’s dignity. In almost any situation, I’ve found that tipping is the best investment you can ever make, aside from investing time in filling out a cash advance loan application for emergency fast cash. Anyone who has ever spent time in a bar knows that a dollar drink is all the fuel needed to receive the quickest service on the most hectic of nights. You’re put ahead of any non-tippers, because when you tip someone, you develop a relationship with that service provider. Give a bit over 10 to 15 percent on a restaurant tab. Remember, a tip nearly always can get you ahead.
