For the past 13 years, 1708 Gallery has been organizing Wearable Art, a creative fusion of fashion, sculpture, media and movement. The purpose of the program is for students to gain an understanding of fashion as fine art and fine art as fashion through the creation of a wearable art piece. The program introduces students to all aspects of design, creation, and exhibition while allowing them to compete for scholarships and encouraging greater public involvement with the arts. Each year, students and professionals from the creative community are invited to submit their designs. A group of jurors select the winning pieces of wearable art which are presented in a fashion show at the Wearable Art event and gala.
In 2008, Wearable Art became a part of InLight Richmond and is now called Wearable Art InLight. All designs must be related to light and are presented in a fashion show during the annual InLight Richmond event.
