Calling all creative visual artists: We are looking for our designer clothing items, scarves and belts to be used in the creation of a work of art that reflects the theme of sustainable creativity.The IAE's first artistic competition has been created in honor of the memory of Lea Argiris, the mother of our Executive Director, Lisa Canning. " Lea's talents as an artists were enormous and yet she was never able to sustain her creativity in a way that gave her the rudder she needed to live a happy, successful, meaningful, creative life. In her honor, I would like you to incorporate the beautiful designer clothes she left behind in the art you will create for this competition."Prizes & Competition Guidelines:Select up to three items you will transform into a work of art for The IAE's first Visual Arts Competition.

If you are like most artists I know, you likely shop for clothes when they are either on sale or when you find something you love at a second hand clothing store. You never pay full price for anything or own expensive designer clothes. And yet the clothes you buy, love and wear can empower you tremendously; giving you the confidence you need to take bold new steps forward in life and your career as an artist. My goal in giving these clothes away is for you to know how devoted the IAE is to helping empower your creative life forward."Are you designer size, 0, 2,4 or 8? If you are, we have some BEAUTIFUL clothes for you!You must have a scheduled appointment and bring a business card to be admitted. Select up to two pieces of designer size 8 clothing you can wear for inspiration and empowerment.RSVP ONLINE: www.sustainablecreativity.eventbrite.comAll of the designer clothing we are asking you to use for the competition will be available for viewing on Thursday October 7th from 7-9pm at The Flourish Artisan Boutique Grand Opening Party.
