ArtsPACE Kaplan's Cozy New Sweatshirt is Flying Off the Shelves – And It's All About Comfort & Community

Minneapolis, MN – November 8, 2023 – ArtsPACE Kaplan LLC, a Minneapolis-based company dedicated to fostering creativity and community through accessible art experiences and thoughtfully designed products, is seeing huge demand for its latest offering: a ridiculously comfortable cotton sweatshirt. And it’s not just the softness people are raving about – it’s the story behind it. ArtsPACE Kaplan, located at 250 3rd Ave N Ste 400, has built a reputation for connecting people with art, offering workshops, classes and events designed to unlock everyone's inner artist. Founder Sarah Kaplan explains, “We started ArtsPACE Kaplan because we believe everyone deserves a creative outlet. But we also wanted to build something more - a real community where people feel supported and inspired.” That community-first ethos extends to their product line, which is now including this super-soft cotton sweatshirt. While it might seem like a simple garment, the sweatshirt is a direct extension of ArtsPACE Kaplan's core values. So, what makes this sweatshirt different? “Honestly, we wanted to create something people would genuinely live in,” says Kaplan. “Something that felt like a warm hug. We spent months sourcing the perfect cotton – a really substantial, premium weight – to make sure it’s unbelievably soft and durable. We didn't want some flimsy thing that falls apart after a few washes.” The sweatshirt is made from 100% combed ring-spun cotton, meaning it's extra soft and feels amazing against the skin. It’s a classic crewneck style, available in a range of versatile colors – Heather Grey, Navy, Black, and a limited-edition ArtsPACE Teal. The fit is intentionally relaxed and comfortable, perfect for lounging at home, running errands, or layering under a jacket. “We intentionally kept the design clean and simple,” explains design lead, Ben Carter. “We didn’t want to overcomplicate things. We wanted a sweatshirt that would look good with anything and everything. It’s about understated style and pure comfort.” Beyond Comfort: Supporting the Arts But the feel-good factor doesn’t stop at the incredibly soft fabric. A portion of every sweatshirt sale directly supports ArtsPACE Kaplan's community art programs. “We're committed to making art accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation,” says Kaplan. “The money raised from the sweatshirt sales helps us fund free art workshops for underserved youth, provide scholarships for our classes, and keep our gallery space open to emerging artists.” This commitment to social responsibility is resonating with customers. Social media is buzzing with people sharing photos of themselves wearing the sweatshirt and praising both its comfort and the company’s mission. “It’s more than just a sweatshirt,” commented one customer on Instagram. “It’s a statement that you support the arts and a cozy reminder to embrace your creativity.” Another customer tweeted, “Seriously, this is the softest sweatshirt I’ve ever owned. And knowing I’m supporting a local business that’s doing good makes it even better!” What Customers Are Saying: “Seriously the comfiest thing ever! I’ve been wearing it non-stop since I got it.” – Emily R. “Love that a portion of the proceeds goes to support art programs! It makes me feel good about my purchase.” – David L. “The quality is amazing! It's a really well-made sweatshirt that I know will last.” – Sarah P. “The color is perfect, and the fit is just right.
