New to this season’s program and in partnership with the Canadian Alliance of Film and Television Costume Arts and Design (CAFTCAD) comes a rare opportunity to visit a display of original costumes and artifacts from notable film and television productions created by members of CAFTCAD. From Concept to Creation: An Exhibition of Canadian Costume Art and Design will reflect the creativity, imagination and meticulous research and technical skills of the country’s costume community. Each item on display represents the costume designer’s vision as well as every member of the costume team that contributed to the manifestation of that vision.
The exhibit is taking place in Yorkville Village and will launch on September 4th.
