Calling all Metro Arts Apprentices, past and present! Quad City Arts
is seeking a new super cool designer to give us a FRESH perspective and an innovative design for our next T-shirt.
YOUR MISSION: Design the coolest most absolutely awesome tee.
Remember that time you saw the coolest design ever in the whole wide world? And you were like, “Never in my lifetime will there be a design cooler than that.” Well, get ready to bite your tongue, because there will be. And you’re going to create it. And then, you’ll be $200 richer.
Design Direction
We’re looking for a design that celebrates who we are as artists and creatives. Please use our many programs as inspiration. Bust most of all, have FUN with the design. We know we’re delightfully weird, and we want that to come through this design.
