The Ivy City Artist Collective
Your Art, Made to Be Worn
Every Ivy City print begins with someone's hands, sketchbook, and imagination. We are passionate about championing independent artists by commissioning their surface designs and bringing them to life on dresses made for real moments - the matching photos, the holiday parties, the milestones families remember for years.

What We Love
Prints With Heart
Our customers are mothers and daughters dressing for life's biggest little moments. The prints that feel most like Ivy City are feminine, timeless, and full of story.
- Florals, ditsies, and botanicals - painted, drawn, or block printed
- Holiday and seasonal stories with a sense of whimsy
- Conversational prints that feel special for little ones and grown-ups alike
- Seamless pattern repeats (or designs you can put into repeat)
- Original work you own the rights to

Calling All Artists
Submit Your Work
Share up to 5 designs in one submission - finished pattern repeats or examples that show your style are both welcome. JPG, PNG, or PDF previews are perfect; if we move forward, we will request full-resolution and layered files.
By submitting, you confirm the designs are your original work and that you hold the rights to them. Submitting does not grant Ivy City any rights to your artwork; any use is agreed separately through a commission. Because we receive many submissions, we are only able to reach out to artists whose work we would like to move forward with.
