Beyond the Blue Box Fashion and Art Show

Institute for a Resource-Based Economy (IRBE) is pleased to host our first annual recycled materials art and fashion show entitled, "Beyond the Blue Box Fashion and Art Show", at the CSI Annex Lounge on June 16th, 2012 from 7-11 pm!

Global unrest and economic/political turmoil around the world stemming from global consumerism has made individuals review their consumptive behaviour and how it affects our planet. To take discarded used materials and turn it into useful art is not only eloquent, but environmentally responsible. This show is inspired by our love for art, community, our human family and our mother Earth.

The event will consist of a Night Market for Art Vendors, a Fashion Show and a Silent Art Auction. We would like to showcase local artists who are creating fashion and art out of recycled materials, and to promote their art in a festive and community oriented show. We are proud to have Lianne Snow, aka 'Recycling Queen', as our lead Fashion Designer for the event.
