Do you have a degree? Yeah, we do. 🤭 Check out the new "i have a degree hoodies" available for preorder now! Preorder link in our bio The School of Art "i have a degree" hoodies are a celebration of the 2025-2026 graduates of the University of Manitoba's Fine Arts Program. The design features embroidered graphics of the ARTLab and Art Barn facilities that carry our years of heavy loaded bus rides, sitting on drawing donkeys, late night grinds, and stair climbs. Through it all, you can now say that you too have a degree. These hoodies are being sold on a PREORDER system. This means that hoodies will be produced upon each order that we get and not before. Preorders will be accepted from July 6 - July 20 @ 11:59pm. After this deadline, hoodies will go into production which could take upwards of 1 month to complete. It is crucial that you provide us with your email contact so that we can inform you of when your order has arrived so that pick up arrangements can be made.
