Join Us for a Night of Creativity and Sustainable Style

Experience the excitement of a live runway show in a remarkable art space. Back after sold-out shows in 2023 and 2019, AMP’s Recycled Runway brings together designers of all ages and abilities to showcase wearable art made from materials that would otherwise be discarded. This year, the runway spotlight will be on designers' sheer creativity—and how sustainability can inspire extraordinary artistic breakthroughs.


The Runway at the Mural: Two Art Forms, One Incredible Evening

Models will take to the runway alongside AMP's remarkable 120-foot-long indoor Art of Work mural that celebrates the stories of workers—and the power of working together. This unique pairing highlights the art of fashion design and clothes-making while raising awareness about sustainability in the fashion industry. All event proceeds benefit the American Mural Project’s hands-on education programs for kids and teens.
