Celebrating Local Artists Since 1981

Burlington City Arts' mission is to connect local artists to new audiences, helping to generate sustainable careers for the creative makers who contribute so significantly to our community's social and economic foundations. BCA's relationship with New Duds began when New Duds co-founder Torrey Valyou was a screen print instructor at BCA Studios in 2010. The relationship continued at the BCA Artist Market, where New Duds grew from a micro-business to a company that was soon able to open a brick-and-mortar print shop. 14 years later, New Duds prints 300,000 t-shirts, tote bags, posters, and more annually. BCA is so thrilled to continue this collaboration and showcase the talent and ingenuity of just one of so many hardworking Vermont-based artisans.
