The Muse ReDressed….An Evening of Art, Fashion & Jazz
Mark your calendar! Our 2nd Annual Muse Redressed is scheduled for April 1.
The "muses" represent the inspiring Greek goddesses of creativity while "redressed" refers to righted wrongs.
On Saturday, March 12 at the Priory's Grand Hall, over 250 attendees honored the survivors of sexual violence. The Muse ReDressed was a spectacle of art and fashion fused with the sweet sounds of Spirit on the Hill jazz ensemble. Not the typical runway fare, this was a walking art gallery. Models from Utopia Model Agency were adorned in original fashions painted by renowned local artists and designed by Mary Margaret Stewart of Iman B. The evening's host was be Timyka Artist of WTAE.
Featured artists: Thommy Conroy, Christina Ferguson, Monica Cervone McElwain, Karl Mullen, Vanessa German, Emma Shutko & Susan Winicour.
