Screens For Good
Screens For Good is a Dirty Coast community project. We design, print, and ship all projects and split profits 50/50 with Community Partners: Non-Profits, Artists, Musicians, & Small Businesses.
ScreensForGood.comIn 2016, we decided that the regular "punch cards" used by us and most retailers was getting a bit tired. Also, folks use them, then lose them and all that "credit" goes bye-bye.
We designed and pressed our Lagniappe Coin as a way to create something with more substance, meaning, and literal weight. Anyone who has a coin can bring it into our stores and the airport shop to get 10% off their order... for life.
There are other locally owned businesses in New Orleans who also give perks if you have a coin on you! This is in coordination with our friends at StayLocal.org.

Dancing Grounds
“Dancing Grounds is not just a dance studio- it's also a place for people of all backgrounds to come appreciate local art and culture while experiencing the many benefits of dance.”
We strive to create t-shirts that transcend the laundry pile.
Our designs aspire to a higher standard than mere recognition, tribalism, or kitsch. At their best, our shirts stoke nostalgia, spark conversation, and make people laugh. They elicit knowing nods at your neighborhood bar and hearty “who dats” in foreign airports.
We make t-shirts because they’re democratic, both in appeal and in execution: everyone wears them, and anyone can make them.
At Dirty Coast, we believe they can be civic-minded too. We are always looking for local partners we can support with a t-shirt. Fundraising tool and conversation starter, a well made shirt is a walking billboard and the wearer the spokesperson.
