ArtWalk Creations – 16 weeks x 1 schools
A community-based, fashion/dance project that merges textile-based art, photography, and performance. Facilitators of the program have expertise in visual arts, fashion runway coaching, fashion photography, and a hip-hop dance. Participants will use reclaimed clothing, fabric, textiles and found materials to design and create fashion artworks within an eco-art twist. They will then be coached on how to walk a runway in their creations, including how to incorporate choreography into their fashion displays. Participants will then be part of a photoshoot where they will capture their creations and poses.
