Join us for an evening of sustainability and style at the Runway Revival: Reduce. Reuse. Refashion event, hosted by dedicated community members and Community Action Center. This is not your typical fashion show! It celebrates the creative talents of local artists who have designed wearable pieces using 90% recycled, upcycled, and reused materials.
In addition to a stunning fashion show, Runway Revival is also a fundraiser for Community Action Center. Come learn about and celebrate the many environmentally sustainable efforts at CAC and throughout our community while contributing to CAC’s important work in housing, recovery, and food insecurity. Attendees will also enjoy food, and drink while mingling with fellow members of the community at this zero waste event.
Taking place on Thursday, August 21 from 6-9 pm at Weitz Center for Creativity at Carleton College, this event is meant for everyone in our community. Come be inspired at this unique, artistic display. Ticket information, sponsorship opportunities, and more event details to come!
