Community Action Center (CAC) is excited to announce the return of its highly anticipated annual event, Runway Revival, set to take place on Thursday, Aug. 22 at Carleton’s Weitz Center for Creativity. This year’s event promises to be a celebration of creativity, sustainability, and community spirit as local designers showcase their innovative, upcycled fashion creations.
“Runway Revival is more than just a fashion show; it’s a statement about the power of creativity and community to drive positive change,” said Anika Rychner, Senior Director at Community Action Center. “We are thrilled to bring together local talent and supporters to celebrate sustainable fashion and raise crucial funds for our programs.”
Runway Revival aims to raise awareness about the environmental impact of the fashion industry and the importance of sustainable practices. By reimagining waste as art, the designers are challenging conventional notions of fashion and consumption. The event also underscores CAC’s commitment to fostering community engagement and support for local causes.

Runway Revival 2024 will feature an impressive lineup of designers who have transformed discarded and repurposed materials into 27 stunning runway-ready fashion pieces. This year’s show will spotlight the talent and vision of local artists committed to promoting environmental sustainability through their designs. The event serves as both a fashion showcase and a fundraiser, with all proceeds supporting CAC’s mission to provide essential services to our neighbors throughout Rice County.
The fashion show will feature a diverse array of looks, from elegant evening wear to avant-garde creations, all crafted from materials that would otherwise contribute to landfill waste. Designers are encouraged to explore creative uses for upcycled textiles, paper products, and other repurposed items, turning them into fashion statements that inspire change.
