Proceeds benefit children and family arts programs presented by Roseville Arts in support of its mission: “Creating a vibrant community through the arts.” 

Co-Chairs of the Fashion Spree and Green Tea event, Kelly Peterson and Valerie Bowman are excited about bringing this new event to the community,  “We want to create an event that not only reminds people of the importance of sustainability in our community, but an event at which everyone will have a lot of fun!  Just imagine walking into the gallery, choosing a brightly colored boa and hat to set the mood and settling down at a wonderfully decorated table.  Beautifully dressed models will glide through the room to music, turning and stopping to show the audience their gorgeous ensembles. The table tops will be decorated with original pieces of art for centerpieces all made of recycled materials.  The fine china, silver and teapots all borrowed from various groups will take you back in time and encourage you to sit, relax and enjoy the tea!”

The fashion show will consist of gently used clothing and accessories provided by ReNew Boutique at 201 Walnut Street in Old Roseville.   Emcee for the event, Kari Hagensmith, will introduce volunteer models and provide direction while keeping the audience well entertained.  Women and young adults from the community are slated to serve as models –hair and makeup furnished by Willo Salon Spa in The Fountains at Roseville and Just B Cosmetics.  Guests will be treated to finger sandwiches, fruit, desserts, and of course tea.  Enhanced by the current exhibits in the Blue Line Gallery, tables will be artfully decorated with recycled art-each in a different theme—guaranteed to be fancy!    

Guests will be encouraged to purchase fashions seen in the show, available for try-on at the Gallery.  In addition, 100% volunteer run, ReNew, located just a few short blocks from the Blue Line Gallery will offer an in-store discount for all attendees directly following the event.    Proceeds from clothing sales at ReNew benefit homeless women and children in the Acres of Hope program.

During the event, Roseville Arts will hold a raffle for some great prizes and will offer a discount in its Gallery Gift Shop—all proceeds from the gift shop and raffle to benefit family oriented programming at the Blue Line Gallery.
