The Jackets.
It all began with an idea. Wearable Art.
Reaching out to artists to create works of art on jackets from thrift stores and out closets.
This year we are added maker classes to help everyone create their own work of art!
The Jackets were available during the Jacket Auction April 30th.

Wearable Emotions.
Mary Seay adds raw emotions to clothing items, offering a release when worn.
To many times, as humans, we try to be perfect, hide our flaws, distract ourselves from our emotions, and I think it is so important to get them out. Wearing them and actually writing out the words I am feeling at that moment is entirely healing and I hope others can reflect the same when wearing or seeing these items!
