The 2016 Recycled Art & Fashion Show set for Friday, May 13th at Monte De Oro Winery & Vineyards in Temecula, supports the arts and arts education, environmental awareness and promotes wildly creative, eco-friendly alternative art and fashion, hand-crafted from repurposed and discarded materials, with partial proceeds benefitting Mt. San Jacinto College Arts programs.
This annual gallery exhibition and runway event, now in its 5th year, was inspired by International Earth Day. It brings together established, professional artists and talented middle school through college-level art students creating a rich range of designers, collaborators and mentors. Art students present with and learn from regional designers and artists in a professional, competitive venue. Work is pre-judged for inclusion by the Event Planning Committee. At the event, a panel of five outside judges will select winners and present awards.
The fashion show models represent a spectrum of ‘real’ body-types. Young and old models, couples, family groups, theatrical and dance performers and South West California pageant titleholders have traversed the runway. Fashion designs are selected based on innovative use of recycled material, expression of humanitarian and ecological statements, craftsmanship, transformation of the model and original design.
The gallery show and runway events present highly expressive, unusual and beautiful art and fashion. The Recycled Art & Fashion Show promotes designs inspired by but not limited to; current issues and events, ceremonial costumes and global, ethnic traditions and futuristic sci-fi visions.
