Join us for an inspiring evening of upcycled fashion and wearable art, benefiting American Shakespeare Center's sustainability initiatives.

Step into an unforgettable evening where creativity, sustainability, and community come together in a celebration of transformation.

The Reimagined Runway showcases original wearable art created from reclaimed, thrifted, vintage, and repurposed materials by designers of all experience levels. Everyday pieces, one-of-a-kind art looks, and costumes will walk the Runway - and most will be for sale. Each piece tells a story of imagination, renewal, and seeing beauty where others might not.

Explore a marketplace of local artists and makers, enjoy live poetry and special performances, and experience a runway unlike any you've seen before. Whether you're passionate about sustainability, love the arts, or simply want a memorable night out, you'll leave seeing both clothing and possibility through a new lens.

Every ticket supports the American Shakespeare Center and Shenandoah Green in their sustainability initiatives, while celebrating the power of reinvention.

Come curious. Leave inspired.

A Film Festival by Activists for Activists

SYRCL’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival inspires environmental activism and a love for nature–through film. Wild & Scenic shares an urgent call to action, encouraging festival-goers to learn more about what they can do to save our threatened planet.

This is the 5th year of the Living Earth School hosting this amazing film festival in Charlottesville. Join us to celebrate the wonder of nature and the connections it brings. Our program this year features incredible films hand-selected by us, so we can guarantee they’ll inspire you like they inspired us. The films you’ll see are adventurous documentaries and short films on nature. Our theme for the films we chose was Earth Care, People Care. The films will inspire, educate, and move you to tears. Tears of joy and sadness. Come be a part of connecting with nature and a community of like-minded individuals who are committed to making our world a better place for all, nature included.

All proceeds from the event support our mission to nurture and deepen our relationships with nature, ourselves, and our communities — simply stated as: Earth Care, People Care.

Join us at the Light House Studio at Vinegar Hill Theater for an evening of community connection and inspiration! Food vendors starting at 5:30 pm, community partners, and an online auction before the films start rolling at 7 pm.

Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias is one of the world’s most successful stand-up comedians and one of the highest grossing touring comedians of all time.
