No kidding. The design of your choice– by prominent hipster graphic artists, that is– will be blasted onto a t-shirt while you wait and presumably sip adult beverages at Czar’s Imperial Theatre 1420 E. 7th Ave Ybor City – Tampa, FL 6:00PM – Midnight, Saturday, May 16th.

The “Back in Black 2” T-Shirt Exhibit showcases original, one-color t-shirt designs by 17 of the best digital illustrators and designers in the US and Europe (who are behind our favorite t-shirts from popular apparel companies, bands and record labels).

Created in 2008, the purpose of this show is to highlight the artwork of the uncelebrated designers whose art you’ve probably been collecting in your closet for years, as well as to establish the t-shirt as a new medium for fine art.

1. Check out the art (no cover). “Back in Black” will transform the Czar’s Imperial Theater into a mini-gallery by adorning the space with original designs from this select group of artists.
2. Pick your design and size ($20 each). You choose the design(s) you like best and the size of your black t-shirt. Guys sizes S-2XL and girls sizes S-L will be available. All shirts are high-quality, soft tees provided by Iron Fist Clothing. Ink color predetermined by artist.
3. Your shirt will be printed on-site. All shirts are made-to-order by screen printers, Vertical Merch. Wait times may vary for proper drying.
4. Wear your shirt home! It’s the one art show where everyone can afford to take home a piece of art.

Ybor City, baby...
