Studio 23 is Back for our third year, and in grander than ever fashion... Studio 23 will be presenting the FRESH 23 Fashion Show at Wheat Ridge High School on Saturday, 1 May 2010.Shawn and I are back at it with my advanced painting students for another another great show... only this year, the show has picked up a little extra steam and recognition. Our friends at Vans have been incredibly supportive of the event and have sponsored us each year. Anyway, after the FRESH 23 documentary of last year's show (check it out if you haven't by clicking this link) was released by filmmaker Mark Spencer last summer, the VP of Marketing at Vans got a hold of us and asked us what we thought of taking the show to the national level... long story short, Vans decided to blow out the FRESH 23 concept and pitch it to schools across the nation... so, this spring, as many as 510 schools (10 per state, plus DC) will participate in a nationwide contest to design custom shoes for Vans... all based on our FRESH 23 Fashion Show!
Please check out the Vans Custom Culture FaceBook page and the nationwide promotion by clicking this link. Of all the entries, four art classes will be selected as regional winners and will be flown out to Los Angeles this May to tour the home of Vans, to check out LA for four days and to participate in a big showdown event with celebrity judges... pretty righteous, eh? We're going to be submitting our shoes for consideration in less than a month, so we've got a lot of work to do...I'll be posting other news and updates on the fashion show and Custom Culture status as it unfolds but for the best up-to-date information... check in with our FRESH 23 Blog that the students will be launching in the next week or so...
