Toys in the Attic is a celebration of toys, to benefit those without them. The annual Toys in the Attic event is both a toy drive and art show – featuring limited-edition, toy-inspired poster prints and custom-created toys. 100% of the door donations and toys collected go to The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation – along with 25% of art print and custom toy sales.
The Backstory
Toys in the Attic was founded in 2008 by Steve Tennebrini – Founder and Creative Director of Squad19 Creative Union.
The first event was held at Gallery 122 and featured work by Adam Turman, Amy Jo, DC Ice, Dwitt, AAron Purmort, Punchgut, Tenebrini, TOOTH, Unitus and more. The turnout was impressive and the number of toys collected far exceeded expectations – it was decided that Toys in the Attic should become an annual event.
This year, Squad19 is joined by planner / promoter Kim Jones of INVISIBLEPILOT and we’re well on the way to making Toys in the Attic an even greater success, in 2009.
