2023 Monarch and Milkweed - Youth Short Sleeve T-shirt

The 2023 Common Ground Country Fair art is Monarchs and Milkweed by Rebekah Lowell, featured on this Youth short-sleeved t-shirt. 100% organic cotton fabric makes this t-shirt very comfortable. A great shirt to layer with! Printed with water-based inks.

This year's artwork by Rebekah Lowell is titled “Monarchs and Milkweed.” With the monarch butterfly population declining due to habitat loss, the message of “Monarchs and Milkweed” is both timely and a fitting selection for MOFGA’s  annual celebration of rural living. 

"As a survivor of domestic abuse, monarchs hold a special place in my heart — for their resiliency, strength and metamorphosis, despite their size. Over the past several years, I've rescued and released over 1,000 monarchs from local hayfields, and have started tagging them,” says Lowell. “Monarchs are suffering due to climate change and habitat loss. They need milkweed to survive so anywhere you can let native milkweed grow, or plant new milkweed, you're helping monarchs have a chance at life."
