For over 20 years, Upper Playground has hosted both established and emerging artists. Sometimes they contribute art under their own name, and other times under ours. Whether they are a graffiti artist, a fine artist, a production artist, an illustrator, a photographer or an intern, they’re all presented as equals under the banner of Upper Playground.

Our Ringer t-shirts feature a lighter weight fabric, contrasted colors at the neck and sleeve, a seamless body and a semi-fitted cut. Solid colors use 100% ring spun cotton. Heather colors use a 35/65 ring-spun cotton/poly blend.

Our designs are printed using all-natural, environmentally friendly, water-based and metal-free inks. Vinegar is used as a curing agent and helps ensure that the design will last a long time without fading. Any odor it leaves behind will fade significantly when left out, and will be gone entirely once the item is washed.

To best preserve the life of the design, we recommend washing our apparel inside out, in cold or lukewarm water, gentle cycle and either tumble drying low or line drying
