Coastal Fashion Week
Exalte’ Magazine has one mission, to bring together Fashion + Philanthropy.
Join us on January 20th as we continue to break the barriers of the typical fashion weeks with Coastal Fashion Week 2020, the only multi-state fashion week in the world. CFW’s 2020 will bring together the styles of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida in one week of fashion.
Coastal Fashion Week will showcase the most cutting-edge designers and high-style boutiques across the coast so get ready for a show you won’t forget!
Doors will open to the public at 6:00 PM, and the show will begin at 7:00 PM in the Mississippi Sound Welcome Center on the campus of the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art. Coastal Fashion Week will bring to you multiple runway shows and closing with a charity presentation Coats for a Cause, in which each model will walk the runway in a fashionable coat he/she will donate to a local organization. Tickets can be purchased via Facebook or Eventbrite.
OOMA After Hours
OOMA After Hours is The Ohr O’Keefe Museum of Art‘s evening centered around opening receptions and artist talks. It’s your chance to enjoy a glass of wine with our current exhibiting artists and see their art for free! Our current exhibiting artists are ceramicist Charles Smith, whose work is on display in the Beau Rivage Casino Gallery of African American Art, and mixed media visual artist Carmen Lugo, whose work is on view in the IP Casino Resort Spa Exhibitions Gallery. Also on view is the Mississippi Art Colony‘s annual group show on the second floor of our City of Biloxi Center for Ceramics. More info here.
OOMA After Hours will also host the opening of the second run of our World Through My Eyes program‘s exhibition featuring local students who worked with Carmen Lugo to create the works that will be on view in the Mississippi Sound Welcome Center. This will also be the first look at our second “pod” gallery. The Great Families of the Gulf Coast Gallery is part of the John S. and James L. Knight Pod Pavillion and will host the museum’s collection of Toshiko Takaezu ceramics. Funding for this gallery was provided by our Great Families of the Gulf Coast Campaign.
Carmen Lugo will also be giving an artist talk relating to her exhibition entitled “Animal.”
