Friday, July 3 8pm - 2am
Free Admission (like all Artomatic events)

Art in Fashion is a non-mainstream, carnival-like event that combines the creative efforts of artists and the sense of style of fashion designers in a unique show, envisioned not as a typical fashion show in the commercial sense, but as an artistic extravaganza, featuring multiple forms of indie art in movement including costume and fashion design, drag, choreography/dance, performance art, mime, hair design, body piercing, body paint, tattoo art, and other disciplines.

How to Dress
No dress code is required but the public is invited to express their creativity in their attire. The idea is to make the public a part of the show, not just a spectator, in the true carnival spirit. The theme this year is Celestial Bodies. Artists are encouraged but not required to follow this theme.

The event is expected to attract 1000-1500 visitors between the start and the end.

Schedule
6pm-8pm
As the public starts arriving, various musical performances will be taking place on the main stage. Mini stages will be set up in selected corners of the room with live demonstrations by artists who are not participating in the runway portion of the show. These may include such activities as live body painting, tattooing, makeup, or hair design for the public.

8pm-11pm
Main fashion show featuring the work of all designers and artists on the runway.
Every designer and artist will follow their last model on the runway to conclude their appearance, and performances will follow immediately, then the next designer so on and so forth until the end of the runway show.

11pm-2am
The Art in Fashion closing party is for the public to dance and have a chance to mingle with all the artists, designers, and models.

The Runway
Four feet wide by 40 feet long, covered with Egg Shell Muslin taped with gaffer tape.  Runway will be positioned directly across from the main stage with at least an 8-foot-wide space between them to allow enough space for the official photographer in front of the runway. Several bright colors of Lining Fabric to cover all pillars, to create festive decoration.
