This week the National Gallery of Victoria (located opposite our very own Melbourne RBHQ) will play host to TEES: Exposing Melbourne’™s T-shirt Culture – an exhibition that catalogues a rich history of t-shirt design in the city.

Eddie Zammit – t-shirt obsessive and editor of the world’s only t-shirt journal, T-World – has pulled together an incredible collection of tees, showcasing designs from some of Melbourne’s most talented labels and independent designers. It’s an exhibition we’re very proud to have helped sponsor and we’re enormously excited to see a number of RB artists featured amongst the designs.

When writing your announcement, begin by thinking about your audiences. It’s likely that there will be more than one. Consider potential attendees, people who will offer their support and congratulations (even a small ego boost can help squash pre-event nerves), local press or media, yo…

A little while back we shared our thoughts on groups. The post had a great response from artists who were keen to tell us about their favourite groups, group projects and initiatives. We’ve spotted more examples since then so we thought we’d showcase these and pay tribute again to the hard work hosts put into running groups on RedBubble. While some groups feature a collection or gallery of work based on a theme, others are hubs of activity where group members participate in discussions, activities and challenges, share information or advice, collaborate or organise to meet up in real life. Here are some great examples of group activities that have caught our eye:
