Criteria
Walk The Runway: Showcasing Local Fashion Designers aims to highlight the South Florida fashion scene and all the remarkable talents that can be found here. From clothing* to shoes to accessories, we are excited to feature articles that can be worn head-to-toe. We are looking for local artists who are interested in showcasing their unique style and talents. Screen-print T-shirts, custom painted sneakers, and hand-knit sweaters are all invited to the exhibition. Accessories like jewelry, scarves, hats, and more, are all acceptable submissions as well. If you are interested, but unsure if your piece would be appropriate for the exhibition, please email Finn, our curator, at curatorial@artserve.org.
*For clothing, please include some way to hang or install the piece, such as loops that can be fitted over hooks, or by providing a quality hanger with your piece. We will also accept mannequins and dress forms, which must remain with the art for the duration of the exhibition.
Themes: South Florida fashion, design, individuality, creative freedom, personal style
