North County Arts Events: Lux Art Couture and SD Botanic Gardens

by Patricia Frischer

We will be featuring lots of North County arts events leading up to the arts month in October Open Your Hearts to North County Arts promoted by SDVAN and NCAN.

Lux Art Institute made a call for 5 artists to be selected to exhibit during Lux Art Institute’s Art Couture event. Artists were asked to submit an art piece for competition and this was the fun cocktail party that celebrated those artists and their completed works inspired by 5 fashions. The 5 chosen artists were give the fashion outfit just two weeks before the party and asked to complete the work on the night so the audience was able to see some live art creation.

Lux will be the host on Oct 13 to the San Diego Fashion Week catwalk show for all the designer  K2HiM BrandHMO by Harumi MomotaHulabelleI Am SublimeIrina MadanLeili MeshkiLyCass Classic DesignSierra MitchellUqshaVaughnBerry. They will also host two other event on Oct 12 and Oct 14, a backstage experience before and a trunk show after.
