Body/Spirit and Sustainable Fashion: How One Industry is Re-inventing Itself.

When fashion becomes dysfunctional, then fashion must evolve!

This former owner of Zootsuit Custom Apparel is now working on an eco-politico fiber, multi-media, multiple medium and collaborative art installation project. Ms. Barnes asserts, “the exploitative nature of the current model is but a remnant of the past and it is time to move beyond the madness.”

Please join us for a lively discussion about going green in the fashion industry.

Forty-two fifth-graders become art directors for a day at Creative Academy







Thursday, October 29
10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Creative Academy, 5th floor

Ever wonder what happens when you let a bunch of fifth-graders art direct a project involving PEZ candy dispensers?

Come find out and see the next generation of creative professionals at work.

In one day, fifth grade students from Stevens Elementary School will have the opportunity to experience hands-on some of the things people in the creative arts do as careers.

The forty-two fifth graders will be collaborating on a design, photography and printing project with eighty-two second-year students from Seattle Central’s Creative Academy.

Working in teams throughout the Academy’s labs and studios, the students will research, brainstorm, thumbnail, photograph, preflight and print the project to completion. What will the result be? Come find out.
