All event proceeds benefit the American Mural Project’s hands-on education programs for kids and teens.

  • Enjoy a night of music, dancing, and connection with fellow art enthusiasts.
  • Support AMP’s creative educational programs.
  • Join a growing movement that values sustainability in art and fashion.


More Than a Runway—Your Special Evening Includes:

  • The Recycled Runway show emceed by comedic playwright Jacques Lamarre
  • Up-close runway seats or balcony tickets and access to all three levels of AMP's renovated mill gallery
  • Deejayed dance party with light show after the runway presentation
  • Dessert reception with cash/credit bar
  • The opportunity to meet the designers and models
  • A chance to win eco-friendly raffle prizes while showing your support an arts nonprofit
