Gift Shop

A key part of ART 180's mission is to give young people a voice in the community. We accomplish this partly through products that present their creative work and that inspire other people to express their creativity. Sale proceeds benefit future ART 180 programs.

If you are in the Richmond area and want to save some money on shipping, we encourage you to stop by the ART 180 office (114 W Marshall St Richmond, VA 23220) in Plant Zero in historic Manchester and purchase the products in person. We are always pleased to see you! Plus, you get a behind-the-scenes look at the magic that is ART 180.

ART 180 Studio Blend Coffee

These three organic, Fair Trade coffees – 50% Peruvian Vida Alta (medium roast), 30% Honduran Yojoa (medium roast), and 20% Columbian Santa Marta (full roast) – combine to create a well balanced blend every connoisseur or neophyte can enjoy. The Peruvian provides the mellow, warm full body, the Honduran lends its top notes of citrus fruit and acidity, and the Columbian gives a bite at the break and a clean crisp finish. Lamplighter Roasting Company, a local business, purchases high quality beans from smaller farms, roasting them in small batches to ensure freshness. Available in whole bean or ground.
