Creative Art Events Inc

LXCL:Creative Art Events&nbsp;brings people together through inclusive, hands-on art experiences rooted in environmental awareness and climate justice. We provide spaces for self-expression, learning, and connection, empowering individuals of all ages to explore creativity as a tool for personal healing and collective action. Turning trash into fashion, ideas into impact, and strangers into neighbors.

This FREE 3-week program for ages 14&ndash;23&nbsp;invites you to explore the world of fashion design&nbsp;through a safe space that emphasizes creativity and upcycled materials to turn old clothes into bold new looks. We&rsquo;ll meet twice weekly from 6&ndash;9 p.m. for hands-on workshops and an interactive hang out space where fashion and sustainability come together. Our hours allow you to enjoy your daytime activities and classes while giving everyone a creative evening place to gather and make friends. Along the way, you&rsquo;ll collaborate to learn skills like sewing, clothing repair, and fashion design. You&rsquo;ll try quick design challenges and experiment with clothing, fabric, and even recycled materials. Whether you&rsquo;ve never touched a sewing machine or you already love design, this program is for you!&nbsp;Guest designers will share their unique style, from thrift culture and upcycling to creative styling and wearable art. The best part? You&rsquo;ll create unique fashion using reclaimed clothing and materials. Together, you&rsquo;ll work toward showing your creation in a youth-led fashion show &ndash; choosing a theme, planning, and voting for the best look.
