Celebrating Immigrant Heritage Month

Celebrating Immigrant Heritage Month

June 2016 marks the third annual Immigrant Heritage Month, and we celebrated the best way we know how - with an Art Show! Along with artists from the New York Foundation For The Arts, FWD.US., and the Anti-Defamation League, we showcased art from our We Were Strangers Too campaign at Governor Cuomo's Office of New Americans in New York City.

 

Just a few miles from Ellis Island, in the office where new arrivals to America today come for assistance finding new jobs in their new home country, we were honored to show off such moving work from our community of artists. 

 

See the full collection of We Were Strangers Too artwork, contribute your own, or purchase prints to support the artists & ADL, here.

Meet Annie Riker, a See America Artist Who Inspired Merrell Shoes & Wyeth Hats!

June 10, 2021

We'd love to tell you about Annie Riker, an artist out of Asheville, North Carolina. She's a surface designer and illustrator who over the years has contributed her national park posters and sticker designs to CAN. This spring her Appalachian Trail design inspired two See America product launches, Merrell trail running shoes and Wyeth hats! Annie is a former Creative Director for the NPCA and we're so grateful that her national park expertise, love of nature, creative spirit and illustration skills landed her in our community where her work can do so much good. You can see Annie's designs online at CAN and be sure to check out her Merrell trail running shoes and Wyeth hat project, too, all helping support Earthjustice organization. We know you'll enjoy reading all about Annie!

Know who loves the outdoors and helping good causes as much as we do? Merrell! We enjoyed our first collaboration with them so much we did it again – introducing a new line of trail running shoes inspired by See America posters of our nation's most celebrated through-hikes, the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail. One part inspiration and one part commemoration, the new shoe collection helps support Earthjustice organization. Integral to this project are the amazing poster designs from artists Brooke FischerJonathan Scheele and Annie Riker, and we hope you really love reading the story of how this project came to be. Huge thanks to Merrell for always being down to party with us in support of a worthy organization, not once but twice!
