Nelson’s Third annual Haute Trash! Trash Fashion Show Competition and Art Exhibition returns to the Capitol Theatre stage for one night only.
A community celebration of “high class trash”, this lively event features innovative designs crafted from post consumer waste and upcycled materials in an exciting runway style fashion show. Designers and artists of all ages and skill levels will compete for cash and prizes in a variety of design categories. A great place to bring the mother in your life for a night of fun and amazement!
This juried, wearable art event will also include an array of fresh trash art by professional and novice creators, and trash-themed performances by beloved local performers, including RhythmTrash Orchestra.
Family friendly, community inclusive entertainment with support from the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance, West Kootenay Regional Arts Council, The Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery and the Nelson and District Arts Council.
The goal is to generate awareness about the trash we generate, our relationship to it and coming up with creative ways to keep items out of the landfills by engaging the public in the creation and celebration of art from discarded materials all while having a lively time with trash fashions, trash art and trash-themed performances.
Some of the winning designs will be displayed at the Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery after the event.
