Local Artist Spotlight — Designed Here, Worn Everywhere

Elevated Hippie’s Local Artist Tee Program is a collaboration built to uplift creativity and community. We partner with local artists to turn original designs into limited-run t-shirts — printed, shipped, and promoted by us.

Once approved, we handle production, fulfillment, and marketing while the artist earns a percentage of the profit and gets featured across our site, ads, and social channels.

How it works

  1. Email us your work — include your portfolio and 1–3 design ideas.
  2. Review — we check originality, print-readiness, and fit with the Elevated Hippie vibe.
  3. Approval + agreement — we confirm design details and payout terms.
  4. We produce + fulfill — Elevated Hippie prints and ships every order.
  5. We promote you — ads, email features, and social spotlights.
  6. You get paid — you earn a percentage of the profit from each sale.

FAQ

Do I keep ownership of my artwork?
Yes — you keep ownership. The agreement grants Elevated Hippie permission to print and sell the approved design.
How is profit calculated?
Profit is typically calculated as sale price minus production and fulfillment costs. Your payout percentage is confirmed in writing per design.
Why might a design be declined?
Designs may be declined if they involve copyrighted or trademarked material, aren’t print-ready, or don’t align with the Elevated Hippie brand.
Fine print: By submitting artwork, you confirm it is original and that you have full rights to license it for printing and sale. Elevated Hippie curates final selections and may decline submissions that do not meet brand or legal requirements.
