StreetWise INK is Memphis’ only T-Shirt Screen Printing Workers-Cooperative that is organized and operated exclusively by individuals with experiences of homelessness. We provide high-quality, custom, hand printed t-shirts for a variety of needs. Individuals who have experience or training in screen-printing are able to subsidize their income by working with StreetWise INK as well as to hopefully gain skills of the industry, and possibly become potential member-owners after incorporation.
Multicolor Sounds Tight, Alright! StreetWise INK was thrilled to get to practice our multicolor skills after completing an order of rad shirts for local rock band, Aktion Kat! At least one arm of our 4 color press needs some adjustment, but learning is part of the process and we’re pretty excited our first three-color process turned out so well. We’re busy perfecting our technique, so keep your ears perked for updates!
Community Training Update: MSPJC has been hosting free screen printing trainings for people with experiences of homelessness every other Saturday for the past few months. While we’re adding new material to update the trainings and changing the times and dates to better serve our community by being more accessible to people with transportation obstacles and other barriers, our regular Saturday trainings will be postponed. In the meantime, if you’d like to assist or possibly partner with us in these and other possible trainings, please feel free to get in touch. & Keep an eye on our Facebook for updates on future training dates!
Support StreetWise INK! We’re extremely grateful to everyone who has been interested in joining our Advisory Board! If you have certain skills you think might be helpful to StreetWise, we truly appreciate whatever way people can contribute. We’re currently seeking people with screen printing skills they’d like to teach and individuals who are experienced in business ownership and management to volunteer for whatever amount of time you have to offer to help us expand our skills and base.
We’re also on the lookout for donated computers or laptops with Photoshop and/or Illustrator abilities if anyone happens to have an old one they aren’t using anymore.
We gladly accept all donations, as your support is what keeps the free trainings free, and us too. Thank you!
