Explore the Daring Art-Fashion Fusion Making Waves – Don't Miss This Show-Stopping Exhibition!

Prepare to be dazzled and intrigued by an art exhibition that's making waves like never before! At Mark Arts, the latest buzzworthy exhibit is all about intertwining fashion with fine art – a daring and thrilling exploration of style through the ages!

Inspired by iconic works like John Singer Sargent's controversial “Madame X” and Amy Sherald’s stirring portrait of Michelle Obama, this exhibition is a must-see for art enthusiasts and fashionistas alike. It's called “À La Mode: The Language of Fashion in Art”, and yes, it's as fabulous as it sounds.

Guess what? You can immerse yourself in this sartorial spectacle until March 15. Dare to step into a world where couture meets canvas, and explore over 80 pieces that scream style, culture, and creativity.

From Sargent’s notorious depiction of the “little black dress” that shocked scores back in the day to Texas artist Robin Williamson's contemporary homage, “Madame S,” expect nothing but bold statements in every stroke. Plus, discover the striking interpretations of Michelle Obama’s portrait that fans went wild over when it debuted in 2018.

Bask in the brilliance of artists like New Mexico’s Shana Levenson, who curated this vibrant collection, and check out phenomenal works like Bryce Holt's pop art and surrealism-infused pieces, or Mary Binford Miller’s throwback to the glamorous shoulder pads of the ‘80s.

Each work transcends its medium, highlighting how fashion narrates stories and beliefs. Stand in awe before Brenda Jones’ patchwork “Prairie Queen” dress crafted from upcycled documents, or be amazed by Damia Smith’s grand oversized earrings made of brown packaging paper and cotton thread.

Marvel at Jennifer Gironda’s tribute to Iris Apfel, the queen of whimsical style and oversized glasses. And don’t miss out on Trish Dool’s intricate hair sculpture masterpiece, adding onto the eclectic mix of sculptures, jewelry, and paper dresses.

This unforgettable exhibition is housed in the Gladys and Karl T. Wiedemann Gallery, with free admission ensuring everyone gets a taste of this artsy extravaganza. For those who live and breathe creativity, gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
