What is fair trade?
Fair trade is a simple way to make a difference to the lives of the people who grow and make the things we love. It does this by changing the way trade works through better prices, decent working conditions and a fair deal for farmers and workers in developing countries. The principles of fair trade are in line with the teachings of Saint Francis.
We work with suppliers such as Global Goods, Ten Thousand Villages, Matr Boomie and Prosperity Candle to bring unique items to you for reasonable prices.
Reprints of some works in the University Art Collection are available through
RequestAPrint.com, with a percentage of the cost coming to the Quick Center to support the ongoing maintenance of the collection.
We are presently offering a few items for the spring 2018 exhibition by SBU alumna Jess! Pfohl. Jess! has her work in several national collections, and she has designed a Bona Wolf for us! We have the design on drink coasters, wrapping paper and stickers so far, with more to come later.
Be sure to see Pfohl's exhibition of drawings and watercolor work in the Front Gallery. The exhibition opens March 21.
