Rubber City Partnership

We are thrilled to announce an exciting collaboration between Kevin Friend, the proud owner of Rubber City Clothing with our talented local artist of Monochrome Canvas, Joëlle Diane. Together, they are bringing a fresh wave of Akron and Northeast Ohio themed designs to our beloved city through Rubber City Clothing.

Joëlle, a born and raised Akronite, began her artistic journey at Miller South and Firestone High School through their visual and performing arts programs. With a deep connection to the area and a passion for expressing her creativity, Joëlle has created beautifully crafted works that capture the essence of the city.

By supporting Rubber City Clothing and choosing our Akron-inspired designs, you not only get to wear a unique piece of art but also contribute to the flourishing local art scene. A portion of the funds generated from your purchases designed by Joëlle goes directly towards supporting her artistic endeavors.

Be a part of the movement and proudly wear the spirit of Akron. Shop now and make a meaningful impact on the local art community!
