Museums & Fine Art: T-Shirt Programs

Our shop earned a reputation as Museum Quality Screen Printers with our unique ability to reproduce fine art on t-shirts. Be it the work of a master such as Picasso, Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Van Gogh, or logos, exacting attention to detail and to the original artwork requires printing that is exceptional.

Museum t-shirts can range from reproductions of fine art to support an event or exhibit, to those that showcase the museum’s architecture (sometimes referred to as “archi-tees”), as well as logo-driven tees that support the branding and promotion of the museum itself. These various design possibilities will clearly appeal to different buyers, yet one thing remains constant…the quality of the t-shirt itself, as well as the quality of the print, must be very high in order to represent these world-renowned institutions.

I have consistently earned the trust of many museum buyers by providing them with highly personalized services, in addition to my understanding of the art world and my ability to communicate well with artists, art directors, and graphic designers.

Often times museums choose to work with brokers that provide their gift store with a wide array of products from coffee mugs to books (lots of books!), posters, and postcards in addition to printed tees. Most often those brokers will have a variety of vendors at their disposal which could potentially create quality issues. That being said it is important to consider that the one product out of this varied mix that will receive the most long-term exposure and attention will inevitably be a t-shirt. Therefore, as a museum store buyer, it is important to align yourself with a qualified direct source printer and an in-house professional account manager, who can walk you through the various printing options that will best satisfy any given project.

Throughout my 25-year involvement working with museums around the world, I have arrived at a more complete understanding as to how best to service your unique needs. Today I bring this knowledge and experience to bear when working on museum t-shirt projects. As your project manager, I am involved in the entire process of printing your tees, from the initial conversation to working with my staff on press checks as well as final print production to making certain that your project(s) are expertly printed, properly packaged, correctly labeled and shipped on time.

The relationship that you develop with me as your Screen Printing Specialist will guarantee that the quality of the work you demand will surpass your expectations of quality and service at no additional cost. Exhibit after exhibit. Event after event.

The directory will offer you the number of almost all the electricians in your locality. You can ask for a referral from an electrical shop. They can give you good suggestions. The internet offers you a wider opportunity to select the best professionals.

This will prove that the electrician is well educated and has practical knowledge in handling electrical jobs. In addition to this, be sure to ask about their professional experience. It is better to choose a person with a good experience. You should also make it a point to ask about the insurance. The insurance policy should cover accident claims. If not, you will have to bear the cost of treatment in case of any accidents. In a normal case, most people with a license will have insurance also. You can also ask them for references. This will help you make sure the quality of the electrician you hire. This is especially necessary when you hire an electrician directly from the internet.

Here are some tips for when you are getting ready to attend one of our Estate Sales

Have Fun! We love what we do and want to share every house’s treasure with you. We have the below rules to make each sale pleasant and fair for everyone attending. Thank you so much for your support, we appreciate your business.

Parking: Please follow all normal parking rules when attending a sale. Do not block driveways, including the house that is having the sale! Mailboxes and fire hydrants should also be kept clear at all times. Our driveway is for loading furniture only.

The line to get in: Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon, lines will form to get into the house. Most houses allow for 50 people inside at a time. We do not have a list of numbers. Some people will make a list Saturday morning (which is then self-managed), but we prefer that when you arrive, you get in line and hold your place.

Pricing: All prices are firm; we do not negotiate at any time. All items are full price all day Saturday and Sunday morning until 11:45 am. If you wish, you can leave a bid on any item priced over $100 more than the Half Off-price and then we honor that bid at 11:50 am, must be present and able to pay at this time, or the item goes to next highest bidder. Otherwise, any items available at 12:00 pm Sunday become half off unless marked Firms – such as vehicles, gold, and real estate.

Sales Tax: Sales tax will be ADDED to every purchase. Tax-exempt resellers must provide us with a copy of their resellers permit to leave with us, which we will keep on file until it expires. You can also email me a scanned copy of the permit to put on file prior to the sale.

Forms of Payment: We accept Cash only. We can accept credit cards for purchases over $100, and there is a charge of $2. Otherwise, we can hold items 30-60 minutes while you run to the cash machine. If the purchase total is above $1,000, we can do a direct bank transfer at no charge, or there is a 3% charge to use the credit card machine.

Large Items/Furniture: All items are U-Haul, U-Load. If you wish to purchase a large item or furniture, plan to have help and a truck. You are welcome to purchase the item and arrange to pick up by Sunday at 4 pm. Also, recommend bringing tools if the item needs to be disassembled; any at the house usually sell quickly. When you are ready to purchase, please bring the orange paper price tag to the register to pay, you will then receive a sold sign to write your name and number on if you are picking up at a later time.

House Rules: All houses are entered at your own risk. There can be unforeseen dangers, steep stairs, uneven flooring, moving merchandise, and dangerous items for sale. There are also lots of breakables, which you will be held accountable for if broken. We prefer children and pets not to be allowed into the home to avoid most of these unpleasant situations.

50% Off Sale: We close at 11:45 am on Sunday for 15 minutes and reopen at 12:00 pm for the “Half Off” sale. During the time we are closed we will call out winning bids and take payments – i.e.: anything that was priced over $100. All other items go to the half-off price and become available once we reopen, except items marked Firm – such as vehicles, gold, and real estate. You cannot “hold” anything prior to our closing and then purchase at half off – any piles found will be disbursed throughout the house.

We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service: We may keep anyone from entering the home if not legally parked, or blocking the driveway or other vehicles. We may keep someone from entering the home if there are problems while standing in line. We may also ask anyone to leave the home if there are any problems while inside, problems including but not limited to; stealing, holding or hiding items for half off sale (which we also consider stealing), disrespecting the home, contents, other shoppers, or our staff, knowingly disturbing our cameras, or leaving children unattended.
