Lost and Found: Sustainable High Fashion

May 4 - May 31, 2013
Reception: Saturday, May 4, 7:00-9:00p.m.

 

 

 

Lost and Found: Sustainable High Fashion showcases high caliber fashion designers as they discover the potential of reclaimed material.  Becoming eco-friendly and living a sustainable lifestyle is the growing trend of the century.  This exhibition features contemporary fashions created with repurposed and upcycled elements.  Artists inject re-newed life into recycled materials to defy the traditional means of fashion.

This exhibition is juried by LaMont Jones, Jr.  Jones is one of Southwestern Pennsylvania’s most influential voices on matters of fashion and style.  As an award-winning fashion editor for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for a decade, his writings reached hundreds of thousands of readers across the region and beyond. From 2006 through 2008, he served as a nominator and judge for the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards. He helped create Pittsburgh Fashion Week and in 2011 was inducted into the Pittsburgh Fashion Hall of Fame.

Sweetwater would like to thank Heritage Valley Health System, Lowry’s Western Shop, and Lula for sponsoring Lost and Found: Sustainable High Fashion exhibition.

Back by popular demand, Sweetwater is proud to present a third installment of Pittsburgh Tattoo Works! Juried by Timothy Azinger from Pinnacle Tattoo (http://www.pinnacletattoo.com), the exhibition will feature new and innovative artwork from local tattoo artists that will include sculpture, oil paintings, sketches, drawings, and more. Images of body art will also be on display throughout the exhibition.  We will feature a “live exhibition” of body work these artists have created during the Artist Reception on June 8th. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served.

Join Timothy Azinger, juror of this exhibition, Pittsburgh Tattoo Works III, for an open discussion and Q&A session on Friday, July 12, 2013, 6:30-8:30 p.m. If you are curious about tattooing and the tattoo process, the history of tattoos, and the current trends in tattooing and tattoo art, please bring your questions and join the discussion with the juror.

Sweetwater would like to thank Littell Steel Company/Thaw Family, Sweetwater’s Board of Directors, Sidelines Beer House, Aliquippa Beer Distributor and Lula for sponsoring Sweetwater’s Pittsburgh Tattoo Works III.
