Call For Artists
The Putnam Museum and Science Center is seeking artists & designers to participate in our JUNKcraft Fashion Show on Saturday, September 30 in conjunction with our JUNKraft: Plastic Pollution Solutions exhibit.
With this exhibit as inspiration, the Putnam is holding a fashion show where the fashion is made from trash. Designers collect recycled materials and craft a “garment” using at least 70% reused materials. Craft dresses, jackets, suits, or anything your model can wear down the runway.
Designers will compete for:
- $300 best-in-show prize
- $150 for second place
- $50 for third place
Judges will rate the designs on three components:
- 50% Creativity
- 30% Construction
- 20% Model performance
The event will be at 7 pm with designers and models arriving at 5 pm. Designers will be asked to share their inspiration.
Applications must be submitted by September 15, 2023.
We ask the designer to share images of garment on the model by September 22.
Participating designers & models will receive complementary admission for the participant and a guest. Light refreshments provided and a cash bar.
