Keep This Studio Alive

Newark Tees is a working creative studio located inside the New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII) on the NJIT campus. We design, print, and produce premium apparel and accessories for schools, nonprofits, artists, and small businesses across Newark and North Jersey.


For years, we’ve operated behind closed doors — quietly producing apparel for some of the most creative, mission-driven people in the city. Now, we’re ready to open up. Not to the public, but to partners, local organizations, companies, and creatives who want to activate this space and co-create with us.


Through strategic partnerships, we’re offering organizations the opportunity to activate our space, offer custom programming, and support Newark’s arts ecosystem in a hands-on, community-driven way.

  • Local and national businesses
  • Schools and universities
  • Event planners and agencies
  • Nonprofits and community organizations

  • Marketing support for retail partnerships, including product photography.

What This Is

This is a partnership opportunity — not a sponsorship, not a donation.

We’re inviting a small group of organizations to become Annual Partners of Newark Tees: gaining access to our space, our services, and our platform over the course of a year.

As a partner, you get:

  • Creative studio access
  • Premium production at discounted rates
  • Ongoing visibility across digital, physical, and apparel touchpoints
  • Co-branded moments and community storytelling
  • Custom skill-building programming you can offer your members, youth, or community

We are uniquely equipped to teach every part of launching a brand — from design and printing, to packaging, labeling, and marketing. For partners, this means opportunities to host:

  • Youth entrepreneurship bootcamps
  • Artist-in-residence showcases
  • Community workshops focused on apparel production

This is about embedding your organization into the creative pulse of Newark. And it’s about offering something of substance back to the city.
