Art of the T-shirt
The Annual Chicago
"Art of the T-Shirt" Exhibits Site

art contest The Uptown Multi-Cultural Art Center has showcased t-shirt art in Chicago's Public Libraries for over ten years. Unable to find support for this activity we are forced to put off public library exhibits.

Our "Art of the T-shirt" exhibits present annually artists' work on t-shirts from around the Chicago in our "T-shirt Art Harvest Festival." We exhibit the work from our "Screen Print Workshop for Artists" in a number of venues each year.

Presently - our activity on the Internet is our means of growing support and exposure for artists' t-shirt artwork and ART-ACT, our "Anti-Racist T-shirt Art Contest Tour."

We stress diversity, encouraging creative artists to show their wearable art annually in our "Art of the T-shirt" exhibits. Check our Events Page for dates. To view details of our 10 years of free showings in public libraries in Chicago communities visit the History Page.

ABOUT UM-CAC

The Uptown Multi-Cultural Art Center is a grass-roots, artist-led agency in Chicago's most culturally diverse community - Uptown. It is an outgrowth of artists seeking to build a support base for art in the inner-city. We have volunteered for twelve years. Individuals are our greatest source of financial support. We need your support to bring artists' cultural, political, and aesthetic expressions, peoples' art, to the public's attention. Visit our Support Page to donate or volunteer to help make art more plentiful in Chicago and on the Internet. Subscribe to ART-ACT Notes - Newsletter of the Anti-Racist T-shirt Art Contest Tour to receive links to new artists' work as it is posted. : - )
