Tierra del Sol Gallery presents an inaugural fashion show on September 27th from 2 to 4 pm featuring eight of the gallery’s artists in a runway show in Fiesta Hall at Plummer Park in West Hollywood, located directly across Santa Monica Blvd from the gallery. The eight artists featured in the event include: Tony Barnes, Aracely Ellis, Austin Gackstetter, Angelica Grande, Ashley Higgins, Marissa Holmberg, Thomas Lamb, and Alondra Lozano. Immediately following the runway show, an after-party will be held at the gallery from 4 to 6 pm, where one-of-a-kind clothes and accessories will be for sale and a range of fashion-related artworks will be installed throughout the space.
The aesthetics and concepts of these artists range from the semi-steampunk vibes of Gackstetter’s garbs to the red-carpet-influenced looks designed by Higgins to the whimsical horror-inspired pieces constructed by Holmberg and the nature-referenced woven wears assembled by Lozano. Both Grande and Lamb have long been invested in fiber and textile works and continue to expand on the foundations they’ve laid with these materials.
As part of the larger Tierra del Sol Foundation, Tierra del Sol Gallery exhibits work created in its unique and innovative art studios. In 2019, a space dedicated to the artists of Tierra del Sol was opened in Los Angeles with a focus on expanding the gallery’s programming and connecting the foundation’s artists with a global audience. Tierra del Sol Gallery organizes year-round exhibitions and events within the creative community of West Hollywood. Guest curators who work with its artists include recent collaborators with Alison Saar, Darren Romanelli, and jill moniz. All sales go directly to supporting the artists and the foundation, which provides studio space, career support, and materials for artists to craft their work.
