  • The Speed of Fashion: Call for Programming Proposals

    We are seeking programming proposals for DMV Area Artists. This free form is for programming related to our show "The Speed of Fashion" only. This is not a form to submit artworks.
  • We are open to other proposals, but are especially interested in artists who will be able to facilitate the following:

    • visible mending workshops
    • upcycling/creative reuse workshops
    • zine making
    • performances (poetry reading and performance art preferred)

    The programming budget will come from the call for art fees. We are tentatively offering up to $200 including budgeting and honorarium. Additionally, as this show will be primarily open throughout the month of June, any programming proposal that is able to incorporate LGBTQ+ Pride as a programming theme will be prioritized.

  • Open through the month of June, our second group show of the year will be entitled The Speed of Fashion. Fast fashion dominates our landscape & landfills. Slow Fashion is often stereotyped as boring, shapeless, and prohibitively expensive. This exhibit seeks to explore the problems with what we wear now, and asks how we should wear our clothes in a not only sustainable, but restorative future. The Speed of Fashion is a national call looking for artwork exploring fashion and fibers in an environmental and climate justice context, with an emphasis on solutions-centered work.
