Wearable Art Extravaganza

Only 2-1/2 weeks now until the big Wearable Art Extravaganza here at Western Avenue Studios.  Although I have been involved since the beginning planning, the reality of it all finally hit me Monday night when we had a meeting of the participating artists, designers, and models.  I'd been so focused on the bits that were my responsibility that it was hard to see the whole picture.  The meeting made it clear just how exciting this whole thing will be.  We'll have everything from beautiful things for everyday wear to the wildly extravagant outfits to be worn one time only.

I will have two jackets and a shawl in the show.  They definitely fall in the milder end of the spectrum for the show.  Today I was trying to decide what color dress should be worn with the shawl and one of the jackets.  Here are the options:
I'm leaning toward the lavender jacket with the black dress, and the shawl with the purple dress.  I know that the jacket color doesn't wash out against the purple dress as much "in person" as it does in my (pitiful) photo, but it still doesn't pop in the same way.  On the other hand, the black dress somehow seems to dull the colors in the shawl.  We'll have to see how they look under the bright lights of the show.

This event is being put on by a partnership of The Miracle Providers Northeast (MPs) and the Loading Dock Gallery as part of ArtWeek Boston and Lowell Open Studios. The donations made for tickets will go to the MPs annual holiday gift event which provides, through various agencies, a wish list of gifts for approximately 400 children whose lives have been affected by HIV/AIDS.   The event will begin at 6:30 pm following open studios and the artist reception in the Loading Dock Gallery.  Cash bar and refreshments will be available.   Suggested donation is $10 per person, $15 per couple.Tickets are available through Eventbrite.
