New #Call for Artists

Dress to IMPRESS Paper Fashion Fundraiser ↗

Morgan Conservatory

Morgan Conservatory is hosting their second annual Dress to IMPRESS paper fashion fundraiser. Dress to IMPRESS is a night of exotic and wild paper fashions and wearable art, celebrating paper and print as fashion. Given the current climate – of the environment, of politics, of the balance between public and personal life – the theme for this year’s artist-designers to address is Reduce, Redact, Reuse, Recycle. This year’s fashion walk will be juried.
