We're going bigger, bolder, and more fabulous than ever! Join 3S Artspace and Recovergirl for a dazzling night as we celebrate the 7th annual Project Upcycle. We’re pulling out all the stops with an All-Stars showdown featuring the six winning designers from all of the past competitions.

The challenge? The designers will transform upcycled garments and surplus fabrics into jaw-dropping, red carpet-ready looks for our inspiring Community Role Models. From sleek silhouettes to avant-garde statements, the designers always serve their fashion with a sustainable twist.

Arrive early for cocktail hour, featuring tasty bites and beverages, be there for all the runway "wow!" moments, and keep the party going at our after party celebration.

This is more than a fashion show—it’s the event of the season, and 3S Artspace's biggest fundraiser of the year.

And yes, we want to see your runway-ready fit. Dress to impress! (You always do!)

MORE ABOUT PROJECT UPCYCLE:

Project Upcycle brings emerging designers together to foster connections, encourage creativity, and inspire growth. We are planting the seeds for sustainable fashion in New England (and beyond), and cultivating a community of informed consumers looking for ways to make better choices with their wardrobes.

Project Upcycle continues to be the biggest fundraiser for 3S Artspace year after year. Community support through sponsorship, donations, and ticket purchases help 3S provide space to share in transformative experiences, engage in meaningful discussions, and serve artists and audiences in impactful ways.
