In an era dominated by cheap, disposable clothing and escalating environmental waste, a collective of visionary local artists is striking back with creativity. The Southern Oregon Guild presents Artists Rethink Fashion, a 3-part fundraiser series to take place on Saturdays September 26, October 3, and November 7 from 1-4pm each day. Discover how Guild Members are rescuing textiles, challenging fast fashion, rejecting throwaway culture, and transforming clothing into timeless wearable masterpieces! Set amidst the background of local creations inside the Guild Gallery & Art Center, three different designers will host educational and interactive runway shows emphasizing sustainability as the ultimate canvas, each sharing a different approach and unique ways to create your own style and a quality, flexible wardrobe that lasts. Ticket holders will enjoy a selection of refreshments and opportunities to get close to each piece, ask questions, and learn about its evolution and construction. Each artist will have a large variety of work on display, many available for purchase, during and after each presentation.
