Stay tuned, as we will be announcing the Art Meets Fashion teams on July 15th!

Our launch celebration will take place on July 21st at the new, state of the art Microsoft Store in Mission Valley. This event is only open to the team participants.

This AMF project will culminate in a presentation of the team’s work at the San Diego International Airport in a group show, plus a team exhibition at terminal two in the baggage claim area. The exhibition will be on for 3 months at which time student work created using the lesson plans will be displayed. Each team will also have their own venue for a larger exhibition of the results of the collaboration.

SDVAN and FOCUS have embarked on a project to enliven the SD art scene by cross pollinating the fashion and art worlds. By putting together teams consisting of an artist, a fashion designer, a teacher and a documenter, we hope to encourage products with immense creative energy. Events featuring the Art Meets Fashion theme will include:

• VIP fashion show on Thursday, April 28 at the San Diego International Airport
• Series of independent exhibitions for each of the teams at 2-3 hubs including the NTC Promenade at Liberty Station
• One group show, which will present highlights of each team, at the San Diego International Airport from April – Sept 2011.
• Lesson plans created by the teachers involved in the project will be posted and results featured in a special exhibition.
• Art Meets Fashion Fringe events
• Art Meets Fashion online competition featured on Zhibit.org
