Alum McKenzie Thompson (MFA 2014) recently spoke with Newcity about her newest clothing brand, Outsider Supply. Inspired by the ongoing pandemic and how it has affected the art world, the brand is focused on creating apparel that keeps art accessible. “We could not go to the museums or to art parties or fairs. We could not travel like we’re used to, or get together and share. However, we could not bear to simply check out and sit on the sidelines,” Thompson shared. “A small group of artists came together virtually to originate a conceptual brand called Outsider Supply. Together, we make art-focused apparel for your everyday life.”
