With the current closure of galleries, museums and public art spaces, this is the time to get art out, about, and onto the site we take with us everywhere—our own bodies.

Putting art front and centre, Art You Can Wear invites submissions from artists and non-artists worldwide for designs that will be printed on a limited edition run of T‑shirts.

Printed locally on Fair Wear accredited 100% organic cotton, a donation from each T‑shirt sold will be made to NAVA’s Artists’ Benevolent Fund and the ten selected submissions will receive a fee of AUD $1,500.

Entries will be assessed by a panel including:
Charlotte Day (Director, MUMA);
Christian Thompson (artist);
Jocelyn Chiew (Director – City Design, City of Melbourne);
Callum Morton (artist and Director, Monash Art Projects, Monash University).

The design must be a single colour print. Entrants can submit one design only, and are encouraged to select a T‑shirt colour to complement the work. Entries must be the copyright of the artist.

The limited edition Art You Can Wear T‑shirts will be sold through the MUMA Shop and selected art retailers.

Let’s put art where the heart is.

Submissions close 7 June 2020 AEST 11.59 pm.
