ACR is excited to announce our show at the Dougherty Arts Center: Reuse on the Runway: The Exhibit.

Can fashion be both stunning and sustainable? This show reveals the answer. Experience highlights from ACR's 2025 fashion show, where artists renew and transform materials – fabric remnants, architectural samples, pop tabs, ticket stubs, newspapers, and more – into extraordinary creations. Explore the ingenuity of upcycled fashion design, challenging conventions and inspiring a future where creativity and conservation collide.

On Display: January 17-February 28
Artist Reception: January 21, 7-9PM
Artist Talk: February 3, 7-9PM

ARTIST TALK: Join Austin Creative Reuse and participating Reuse On The Runway designers for a behind-the-scenes look at the creativity and sustainability fueling our annual upcycled fashion event.
