About this Event
Join us for Fountain House Gallery & Studio’s inaugural fashion show, PASSION FASHION: (Fountain) House of Re/Invention, proudly hosted with Positive Exposure and curated by Vermillion.
Each time we intentionally dress ourselves, we use our esthetics as a tool to be seen, acknowledged, and appreciated. We playfully signal to like-minded strangers that we’re inviting their gaze. Plan to be wowed by thrifted ensembles, unique vestments painted upon, handmade jewelry and accessories!
Fountain House members, staff, and supporters take the runway in one-of-a-kind garments designed and created by Fountain House artists - pieces that celebrate self-expression, reflect the healing power of community, and emphasize renewal.
Shop the styles after the show! Light refreshments provided.
Free! RSVP required
6-8pm
*Please arrive by 6:15. The show will start promptly at 6:30.*
We encourage all guests to join us by wearing their own hand-crafted creations or accessories, or clothes that support causes they care about.
