ArtWalk- Friday Night Fashion Show
The Westville ArtWalk Fashion Show returns in 2026 as a highly curated outdoor runway experience, transforming the street into a living gallery of wearable art. Building on its growing legacy, this year’s presentation introduces an elevated artistic framework centered on costume art, immersive storytelling, and sculptural design.
At the heart of the show is the concept “Costume Art: The Street as Gallery.” The runway will function as an exhibition corridor where garments are presented as sculptural works in motion. Integrated artwork and environmental design elements will blur the line between fashion show and public art installation, inviting audiences to experience the street as a dynamic, immersive gallery.
The show will feature five carefully curated wearable artists, each specializing in original cut-and-sew garment creation. Designers will present between 8–12 looks each, resulting in a collection of approximately 40–60 original works. Confirmed designers include Tea Montgomery and Donald Carter, with Dead By 5AM, Two Faced Design, and Pillow & Co.
The evening will be hosted by Frank E. Brady, guiding audiences through a presentation that merges fashion, performance, and public art into one cohesive and unforgettable experience.
RESERVE A SEAT for a $5 fee or join us for standing room free of charge.

ALL GOOD INDIE! Film Festival 2026! We have a crazy lineup for you guys, featuring films from almost a dozen local artists.
And of course, all proceeds are being donated back into the community. 80% of ticket sales go directly towards Unidad Latina en Acción, a New Haven grassroots organization dedicated to defending the rights of immigrants through direct action, community organizing, and legal advocacy. The rest is going right back into our lovely venue, Lotta Studio, an incredible independent studio space that is constantly running events that benefit local artists, and the community as a whole (Like this one!). Which, without their support, AGIFF would not be possible.
