Fashioning Ourselves: Community Day

Garments and accessories can communicate stories about our connections to culture, traditions, professional lives, and so much more.

Special community guests will join us to share about their own relationships to traditional and professional fashions. Don’t miss out on a morning of cultural exchange and craft activities for children!
