CSDA YP&C Afternoon Tour at the Bata Shoe Museum

  • 07 Dec 2024

  • Bata Shoe Museum



Join our Young Professionals and Creatives group on a guided tour at the Bata Shoe Museum's new exhibition Art/Wear: Sneakers x Artists on Saturday, December 7th at 11 a.m. (EST). 

Art/Wear: Sneakers and Artists asks why artists are drawn to working on/with sneakers and why so many of us are interested in wearing these pieces. It also explores the longstanding divide in Western thought between art and fashion, ultimately questioning if and how our collective definitions of art are shifting. Topics explored include: a history of sneakers as canvases, graffiti artists and sneakers, and artist collabs, and the rise of customization as its own art form.

Register via Eventbrite here.
