1708 Gallery calls all creative individuals to submit entries for the 13th Annual Wearable Art InLight competition and fashion show. A creative fusion of fashion, sculpture, media and movement, Wearable Art InLight is a component of InLight Richmond, the third annual celebration of light-inspired contemporary art. The winning designs will be presented in a fashion show which will take place outside on Friday, October 22, 2010 in Richmond’s historic Shockoe Slip. There will be opportunity for window displays in local fashion boutiques for the winning designs.

INSPIRATION:
InLight Richmond transforms a part of Richmond into an outside light-inspired art experience. The proposed concepts and designs for Wearable Art InLight should reflect the theme of light. To draw inspiration for your design, we invite you to take a guided tour of the costume and textile collection at the Valentine Richmond History Center. If you’re interested in signing up for a tour, please contact InLight Project Manager, Kerry Mills at kmills@1708gallery.org (space is limited).
