OCCCA invites artists to submit their art for a wide-ranging exhibition of text, symbols, posters, placards, videos, photography, paintings, sculptures, functional objects, installations, and new media projects.

About the Exhibition:

Fashion is a seductive powerhouse in contemporary culture, worthy of celebration and critique. Fashion is a weapon against boredom, the prosaic, and the humdrum. With a joie de vivre that is irrepressible, fashionistas fight back against mediocrity, conventional thinking, and bad taste. The drama of. fashion's 'street theater' inspires artists of all kinds to reach new heights of style. Despite the bellicosity of the term 'fashionistas, it fits perfectly: fashion revolutionaries living in the urban jungle, armed with attitude.

- Rob Mintz, Late and Revered OCCCA Director of Exhibitions
