The free event features one-of-a-kind handmade merchandise and runs Wednesday through Saturday in Highland Park . Sackheim and Brodson travel throughout the United States to select the work of outstanding fiber artists and jewelry craftsmen. Brodson and Sackheim are themselves talented artists and have a keen discriminating eye when selecting merchandise. They choose a wide variety of work that has broad appeal.
"Women, specifically, express themselves through their fashion. Even a small object of art can highlight an ensemble and give the wearer a memorable look. The art to wear is as unique as our customers," Sackheim says.
Among more than 40 exhibitors will be artists new to the show including Dressed To Kill, California; silk scarves from artist Tina Weil, Chicago; and jewelry from Gail Bass, New Mexico. Their work will be on display along with the works of artists that have become synonymous with the art to wear show—jewelry from the studios of Laurie Danch and NanC Meinhardt, scarves artfully designed by Deborah Hirshfield, and clothing from the showroom of Robert Stadnycki.
The Art Wear Unlimited show and sale will be held at the Highland Park Country Club, 1201 Park Avenue West, Highland Park. The show runs Wednesday, April 14 through Friday, April 15.
