FIT: Buffalo Fashion, Identity, and Transformation
- Description
FIT: Buffalo Fashion, Identity, and Transformation explores the creative output of a region where fashion, art, community, and economics are deeply interconnected. The artists featured in the exhibition have documented and responded to Buffalo's evolution from an industrial center to a forgotten city in decline, and now to a culturally rich community full of potential.
Their practices span media, ranging from photography, painting, and mixed media to creative direction, fashion design, and illustration.
FIT celebrates how artists have long reflected on and innovated the integration of creative expression through fashion within the region's broader ecosystem.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition FIT: Buffalo Fashion, Identity, and Transformation July 9 - November 1, 2026 at the Burchfield Penney Art Center.
