Now in its sixth year, Fashion Night at Byrdcliffe is a benefit focusing on Byrdcliffe’s celebrated Artist-in-Residence Program, which provides an opportunity for visual artists, writers, playwrights and composers to discover and hone their talents. The event includes a cocktail hour with local fresh cuisine served with Prosecco and wine. Simultaneously, there will be a silent auction including travel packages, culinary pleasures and new items for spa, health/wellness and home décor.
When the auction closes, the fashion show begins: an extravaganza of the latest styles that the Woodstock community has to offer, featuring talented local models parading down a full-sized catwalk constructed just for the occasion. Participating stores include Changes, DIG, Euphoria Yoga, Hamilton & Adams, Juda Leah, Karina Dresses, Kenco, Lily’s, Loominus, Next Boutique, Oak 42, Pegasus Footwear, Pleasures, Pondicherry, SEW Woodstock, Tibetan Arts and Crafts, Walkabout, Woodstock Design, Woodstock General Supply and Woodstock Trading Post.
Fashion Night will take place on Saturday, May 6 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Byrdcliffe Theater, located at 380 Upper Byrdcliffe Road in Woodstock. All proceeds from the 2017 Fashion Show will go toward supporting Byrdcliffe’s diverse arts programming at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts and the Historic Byrdcliffe Art Colony.
