Calendar Pick: ‘Rescue: Waste & Redemption’ Fashion Show

“Rescue: Waste & Redemption,” on display through June 15, is an exhibition curated by Lizzie Zucker Saltz that showcases the work of 22 artists connected through the theme of transforming industrial byproducts into art. The upcoming fashion show coincides with this collection, featuring original clothing and jewelry made of objects saved from the landfill. The designs are equally as complex and fascinating as the abstract works shown in the exhibition, embodying the “material alchemy” that Saltz is aiming to explore. Composer John Vogt’s soundtrack orchestration will accompany the models as they walk the runway in works by Adah Bennion, Emily Peter, Sugar und Salt Designs, Andrea Trombetta, Paula Reynaldi, Susan Lenz and Kate Wendley. New woven artworks from the Art Center’s advanced weavers will also be on display at the show.

WHO: “Rescue: Waste & Redemption” Fashion Show
WHEN: Thursday, May 23, 6 p.m.
WHERE: Lyndon House Arts Center
HOW MUCH: FREE!
