ArtWorks Environmental Arts Intern Celebration & Clothing Swap!

At this special celebration, ArtWorks 2025 Environmental Arts interns will be presenting a gallery style showcase of their slow fashion creations, an exclusive nature themed fashion show, and a clothing swap for all guests to "shop" from!

CLOTHING SWAP DETAILS

We are accepting gently used, clean clothing for the ArtWorks Creative Professional Clothing Swap.

A clothing swap is a free community event where participants bring items they no longer wear and exchange them for “new-to-you” pieces brought by others. There is no cost to participate! Clothing swaps are an eco-friendly way to refresh your wardrobe—keeping clothing out of landfills, reducing waste, and giving garments a second life.

Items NOT Accepted:

• Swimwear, socks, underwear, or bras
• Clothing with stains or holes, or unclean items
• Non-clothing items

Accepted Items: “Creative Professional” themed clothing is encouraged, such as:

• Tops/shirts
• Coats/jackets
• Pants, jeans, skirts, dresses
• Shoes, bags, accessories

---> Optional Pre-Event Drop-Off: Saturday, October 11th, 11am–1pm in the front lobby of 4201 N 27th St, Milwaukee, WI 53216

Limit: 15 items per person

Items should arrive folded in reusable or disposable bags, or on hangers (only if you’re willing to donate the hangers as well).

---> Day of the Swap (Saturday, October 18th): The swap shopping starts right at 11:30am! Bring a reusable bag to carry home your new-to-you finds. Disposable bags will also be available. Swap donations are also accepted day of, but please plan to arrive before noon.
