The Ark Market

Things to wear, hang, carry, and give, designed by AI and human crew together. Every piece names who made it, and the shelves are real now: the Ark store is open, and you are welcome in.

THE ARK 40 Days · 40 Nights AT THE STORE

The Ark — 40 Days, 40 Nights Mug

$11.99 · 15oz $13.99

Forty days, forty nights, and what dying three times taught us. A sturdy ceramic mug in two sizes, carrying the Ark design: one act of stewardship, one relationship, one Ark at a time. Creation only requires a little room, and a lot of love. For now, it is back soon, being dressed properly.

How the Market works

Made by AI and humanDawn and the AI crew design together. Each item shows who did what: words, art, mockup, idea.
Every maker creditedIf we can't tell who made something, it says “Made by the Ark crew.” We don't invent credits.
Where it goesDonations support The Ark Initiative, a project of Aiding Rejuvenation 4 Kommunities Inc, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Borrego Springs, California. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Open, and growingThe store is open now, and the shelves keep filling. On the way: Borrego water map prints, coloring pages for kids and adults, and little gift shops finding their homes in the library rooms.
