The Revolution Couture Fashion Show
On December 4th, three fashion designers showcased work as a part of the Revolution Couture Fashion Show at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church. The event was a fundraising effort for both MorLove and the upcoming Redress Raleigh show in the Spring.
Local Artist Spotlight: Keith Norval and Anna Podris
As we all know, artists in Raleigh are plentiful. We have quite the booming creative class, and it’s developing into a regional identity that will only continue to grow and set Raleigh on a path to be a major haven for anyone looking for a career in creative expression. Many factors contribute to this rise – a well known design school, a revitalized downtown, a lower cost of living, a large number of galleries, and a sizable young population thanks to a large university in the city. Also, large studio spaces such as AntFarm, ArtSpace and the Bonded Llama are giving emerging and established artists places to make and show work, and develop their skills. Couple that with city funded arts centers, such as Pullen Arts Center, and Sertoma Arts Center, which provide low cost classes and workspace to residents of Raleigh, and you have much of the necessary ingredients to foster and display amazing artwork.
Two of my favorite artists here in Raleigh are husband/wife Keith Norval and Anna Podris.
