The renowned metal band Opal in Sky has made headlines for an inspiring initiative that involves a talented 12-year-old designer who created merchandise for the band. The profits from these sales will go directly toward her college fund, showcasing a unique collaboration that highlights the importance of supporting young artists.
In a heartfelt video shared across their social media platforms, the Canadian group detailed how this collaboration with the young artist, Alyvia, unfolded. Just before one of their electrifying performances, Alyvia approached the band and presented a design she had crafted, which led to her being introduced to their manager. This moment marked the beginning of a beautiful partnership.
The eye-catching design featured the band’s name beautifully illustrated in the sky above a scenic landscape filled with mountains, flowers, and celestial elements like the sun and moon. The band members recalled their excitement, stating, “I remember thinking to myself, This needs to be on a T-shirt, holy shit,” noting that their manager also saw the potential in her creative work.

After some discussions and receiving the necessary permissions from her parents, a brand new shirt was launched. What makes this design even more special is that a portion of every shirt sold contributes to Alyvia’s college fund, as she aspires to attend university to deepen her understanding of the human brain and its functions.
