DocuSign Envelope ID: D2DFA55F-E7B9-42C3-94E1-093C863FB952 <br /> Project/Program The funds I am requesting are to buy material: vintage material, silk <br /> Summary and cotton in order to create a new sladesign collection. <br /> sladesign is my clothing and accessories line. I design and produce <br /> hand made one of a kind pieces from vintage, recycled materials and <br /> new materials such as silk and cotton. Many of my clients keep their <br /> pieces displayed on a wall, as a painting. They are all unique pieces <br /> of clothing or accessories. <br /> Because the clothing and accessories are unique, I do not sell them <br /> at conventional stores or boutiques. I design and produce a Fashion- <br /> Art Show for each new collection and have the collection to view, try <br /> on and purchase after each show. I have had 10 sladesign Fashion- <br /> Art shows since 2007. The last one I had was a pop up Catwalk Art <br /> Show at The Carrack Modern Art in Durham in 2017. <br /> Many community members and past clients have been asking when I <br /> will have the next sladesign Fashion-Art Show. <br /> I will be collaborating with Ron Liberti on some of the pieces. He is a <br /> local Artist-Designer-Silkscreener and Musician. He will provide a <br /> King Size cotton silkscreened sheet that I will chop up and sew into <br /> skirts and dresses with additional silks and cottons. <br /> Liberti will also have silkscreened Art Work to display and sell during <br /> and after the show. <br /> There will be two opportunities to see the show: December 13th at <br /> The Station, during the Carrboro, Chapel Hill Art Walk and the <br /> following Friday December 20th at Smelt Art Gallery in Pittsboro. <br /> The music at The Station will be provided by Liberti spinning records <br /> and at Smelt we will have a live band, probably one of which he is a <br /> member. <br /> At both venues, I will curate and hang the show according to the <br /> space. After the show at Smelt Art Gallery, the show, Liberti's art work <br /> and my collection will be on display and for sale until the end of the <br /> year. <br /> Community Impact Both Orange County and Chatham County will benefit from this <br /> amazing show. People will be exposed to a non-conventional <br /> Fashion-Art Show with hand made one of a kind pieces. <br /> I will give a free sewing workshop (maximum 10 people) at Smelt Art <br /> Gallery to learn how to upcycle an ugly t-shirt or make a skirt out of a <br /> shirt. This will take place Saturday December 28th from 2pm-6pm. <br /> People interested must bring their own sewing machines and <br /> materials. <br />
