Join us on closing day for a conversation with the artists of One Year, One Outfit. Learn more about the Rust Belt Fibershed and all of the work that it takes to create a unique wearable artwork completely from scratch.

Featuring artists Gretchen Graff (PGH), Debbie Christensen (Cleveland), Katy Dement (PGH), Melanie McClintok (Detroit), and Sarah Silk (PGH). 

“One Year, One Outfit” is a cohort-based project that responds to consumerism and the damaging effects of fast fashion. Folks who reside in the Rust Belt Fibershed region (within 250 miles of Cleveland) create an outfit through a soil-to-soil supply chain: fiber and dyes are grown, harvested, and made into a garment, and all garments are able to return to the soil at the end of their life cycle.
