Juneteenth Celebration Postcard – MTP x Writings From Michael

Michael G. Simpson created the official artwork for the Melrose Trading Post’s First Annual Juneteenth Celebration in partnership with the Mid City West LA Neighborhood Council.

In honor of the holiday, we created Juneteenth Celebration items as part of the Fairfax Love Collection with artists and makers from the Melrose Trading Post.  The items in this collection are available for purchase as an ongoing fundraiser for Fairfax High School’s Black Student Union.

“Fairfax’s Black Student Union (BSU) aims to promote the acceptance of Black culture and the voice of students.

We are developing positive relationships and community amongst the students in the club as well as advocating for those outside of it.”

This exclusive limited run was printed and designed by artist and MTP Vendor Michael G. Simpson of Writings From Michael.
