The product range includes gift bags stationery, [decorative pillows, kitchen towels, throw blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mvinn-collection) and more, which all showcase the artwork of Dana Powell-Smith, Melina Brann and Shaunt'e Lewis. The retailer will be donating 5% from the sales of the collection to affiliates of the [Urban League](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-satay-skewers) located in Indiana and Michigan. Director of Supplier Diversity and Indirect Procurement Carla Hendon commented on the new Meijer products saying, "What I love most about the art we're highlighting is that while all three artists took inspiration from the same prompt of Black History Month, they each approached it from a totally different viewpoint with their own unique style. It highlights the diversity we have within the Black community." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Celebrating Black History Month with Artistic Decor:** Opportunities for collaborations between retailers and local artists to support and promote cultural diversity and awareness. - **Donating Proceeds to Social Causes:** Opportunities for businesses to align with social causes to promote social responsibility and community involvement. - **Diversity in Art and Design:** Opportunities to showcase diverse perspectives and styles through collaborations with artists from different backgrounds. ### Where This Applies - **Retail Industry:** Opportunities for retailers to promote cultural diversity and social responsibility through collaborations with local artists. - **Art and Design Industry:** Opportunities for artists to showcase their work and promote cultural awareness through collaborations with businesses. - **Non-profit Industry:** Opportunities for non-profit organizations to partner with businesses to promote social causes and raise funds through corporate social responsibility initiatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Black History Retail Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target.md) - [Celebratory Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-editions.md) - [Black-Owned Chocolate Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bifties-black-history-month.md) - [Inclusion-Focused Design Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-3.md) - [Uniquely Designed Artistic Wallpapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-wallpaper.md) - [Artistic Indigenous Homeware Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lani-blazan.md) - [Black-Owned Brand Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actively-black-collaboration.md) - [Black Heritage-Inspired Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-joy.md) - [Artistic QSR Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/damon-brown.md)
