Studio Montclair Presents Fashion As Muse

Studio Montclair’s newest exhibit at Academy Square, Fashion As Muse, considers how visual artists use fashion, or any aspect of the fashion industry, as inspiration for their work. This exhibit is on view from May 17 to August 12, 2013 and will take place in Studio Montclair’s galleries at Academy Square, the SMI Gallery @ Academy Square and the SMI Virginia S. Block Gallery, located on the first and second floors of Academy Square 33 Plymouth Street in Montclair. All are invited to the opening reception that will coincide with the Montclair Gallery Walk on Friday, May 17, from 6 to 9 pm. The galleries are open to the public 7 am to 7 pm Monday through Friday.

The show’s co-curators - Patricia Selden, Virginia Block, and Karen Nielsen-Fried - chose work that reflects its linkage to contemporary fashion trends. In addition to clothing, artists explored fields such as interior design, product design, architecture, and politics.
