VISIT ARTS EDUCATION

Our Fair Trade Gift Shop is located in the Quick Center's first-floor Box Office area.

The principles of fair trade are in line with the teachings of St. Francis. It's a simple way to make a difference to the lives of the people who grow and make the things we love. Fair trade 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.

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.

A few Quick Center and SBU logo items are available as well.
