T shirt art and design is a huge part of contemporary art, yet is usually overlooked. Galleries and websites exist for all other kinds of contemporary art and now there is a place where T shirt art will be preserved for posterity.

The ephemeral nature of T shirts means that images are quickly lost that should be archived and kept as documentary evidence of the art and design of our historical period. Especially as T shirt design often reflects the concerns and interests of a generation more than any other form of contemporary art.

The museum welcomes additions from members of the public who are interested in T shirt design. Photographs of T shirts can be uploaded to the museum for selection and archiving. Anyone who loves T shirts is urged to get involved and upload images of their T shirts, so that contemporary T shirt art and design is not lost to future generations.
