Gallery 1313 is thrilled to again host its annual fundraiser the Fantasy Fashion Show( number 14 ) on June 22 6:30-10:30 pm Tickets $30 .This runway fusion of wearable art blends art and fashion and has been a crowd pleaser for all attending since 1998. Money raised goes toward our operating budget for programming and outreach.

This event will have about 16 designers and artists display a wide range of wearable fashion pieces down the runway. The participants occasionally incorporate performance and create wear that pushes the envelope on fashion and occasionally gives artists an opportunity to delve into fashion that has something to say . Quite often unpredictable

the show( started by Phil Anderson , – current Director ) keeps the audience on its toes .

This year we will have some corporate seats and a few silent auction items to raise more dollars for the event . We are saving Taylor Swift, a seat number 13 with an open invitation to attend as we know she loves the number 13 almost as much as we do. She was born on Dec. 13 and usually tries to reserve seat number 13 row 13 at award ceremonies. We have had good luck with the number 13 and continue to . Time will tell if Ms Swift decides to attend .

In the past outfits have included live snakes , outfits made of licorice , body painting , recycled materials , coffee filters and much more. Media coverage has include print from Toronto Fashion Magazine , The Toronto Star , The National Post , Now Magazine , and the Parkdale Villager . Other media have included Fashion Television, CBC Television News , CFTO News , City TV , CBC Radio and others .

Every year we try and have a celebrity host . Last year is was Enza Anderson ( she also did it the year MOCCA hosted the event ) . Other hosts have included Glen Baxter – Fashion Television , Russell Smith , – The Globe and Mail , RM Vaughan , David Liss and Juno Youn and others .

Gallery 1313 is an incorporated not for profit organization with charitable status . It is an artist run centre but does not receive core funding . Gallery 1313 hosts exhibitions by local , national and international contemporary artists . It is home to almost 60 member artists from across the GTA .

The Gallery is located in the former holding cells of what was division 6 City of Toronto Police Station. There were 12 cells in the former Police Station in what is the Main Gallery today . No bad karma so far though someone did a cleansing exercise one year . We are now getting ready for year 20 in 2017 .
