Hello AQU Member,
In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, we have heard numerous stories from our members of the partial and/or total destruction of their homes and contents, loss of vehicles, harrowing escapes, and most importantly of survival. We all know that creativity feeds our souls, brings joy and provides a needed mental break. To support our AQU member-friends who have lost their sewing and art tools and supplies, we have designed this “Care & Share” to give us a tangible way to help get them back on their creative feet. Check out the attached document for full details. Sincerely, Shannan Maggied Membership Chair Call for entriesNaples Art is seeking artists/designers submissions of original, creative “wearable art” concepts for the 6th Annual “Scene to Be Scene” Runway Art Show on Saturday, Jan. 14, 2023.

 The Museum of Arts and Design is hosting an exhibit called Garmenting: Costume as Contemporary art. The website had great images and
From the website: The first global survey exhibition dedicated to the use of clothing as a medium of visual art, Garmenting: Costume as Contemporary Art examines work by thirty-five international contemporary artists, from established names to emerging voices, several of whom will be exhibiting for the first time in the United States. By making or altering clothing for expressive purposes, these artists create garments, sculpture, installation, and performance art that transform dress into a critical tool. Adopted globally as an artistic strategy, garmenting uses the language of fashion to challenge traditional divisions of form and function, cast a critical eye on the construction of gender, advance political activism, and address cultural difference. Live performances and activations involving five of the artists in Garmenting will be presented on-site throughout the exhibition. Gallery is located at: Museum of Arts and Design 2 Columbus Circle New York, NY 10019 |
