Join us for Fountain House Gallery & Studio’s inaugural fashion show, PASSION FASHION: (Fountain) House of Re/Invention, proudly hosted with Positive Exposure and curated by Vermillion.

Plan to be wowed by thrifted ensembles, unique garments painted upon, handmade jewelry and accessories! Shop the styles after the show. Light refreshments provided.

Each time we intentionally dress ourselves, we use our aesthetics as a tool to be seen, acknowledged, and appreciated. We playfully signal to like-minded strangers that we’re inviting their gaze.

Fountain House members, staff, and supporters take the runway in one-of-a-kind garments designed and created by Fountain House artists – pieces that celebrate self-expression, reflect the healing power of community, and emphasize renewal.

This event is in accompaniment with the current Fountain House Gallery exhibit,Re/Invention, curated by Fountain House artist Vermillion, in partnership with Tara Sansone, Executive Director, Materials for the Arts/ Friends of Materials for the Arts, and with John Cloud Kaiser, Gallery Director and Education Director, Materials for the Arts.

Fountain House Gallery & Studio supports the careers and creative visions of contemporary artists living with mental illness.
