- Everyone's watching TV, they're reading, they're listening to music right now, and they're realizing that without art they would really have nothing to do.

(chill music) My name is Hannah Manocchio and I am the owner of Snakes & Acey's.

Snakes & Acey's is a local print shop.

Everything is designed by hand.

I personally make all the screens and then I personally hand print every piece of work.

I would have been celebrating my five year anniversary as a business, so that's a little bit of a damper to not be able to throw a party or anything, but since then it's been incredible.

I've kinda moved towards social issues and gender inequality and these issues that either I'm facing personally or my students face.

I periodically do inner-city and after school youth programs.

I teach them how to screen print and how to build yourself a brand around artwork.

I wanted to push that there are other options than college because college sometimes isn't an option for those students.

After everyone had the shelter in place announcement, it was actually this beautiful coming together of these small businesses and all of these people coming out of the woodwork to support online shopping.

However, my supplier that gives me all my blank apparel and a lot of the inventory, I'm not able to get.

So I'm just kind of having to sell out of what I have in store.

So that's a little scary, but the amount of support I've gotten in the last month has been absolutely incredible and I never would have expected it in a million years.

I'm definitely going to take this experience and the mental hurdles that it's kind of forcing me to overcome and try and teach the students that work with how to use art as therapy, which I think is really important.

I don't think people realize how important small business is to their everyday life.

I think we're realizing that our community is kind of diminished and bland without those small businesses, and that is what makes neighborhoods and this is what makes a community a community.

And those people that you wave to everyday through their business windows, and the people that you know and your return customers.

You don't get that with big businesses, and I think it's important for us right now that we're apart to be able to buy a product from a person and not a company.
