Uncommon Threads 2019

Tickets are now on sale for Uncommon Threads 2019, the wearable art runway experience.   This annual Fine Line fundraiser, which began in 1986, takes place at the Q-Center, 1405 North Avenue, St. Charles. Over the last nine months the Fine Line team have been busy working to bring together a fantastic collection of fiber and jewelry artists for this one-day fashion event.

The doors open at 10 am, and for two hours, attendees will be able to browse a fantastic boutique area, filled with women’s clothing, jewelry and accessories of all descriptions.    Jackets, Jewelry, scarves, bags, hats and much more, all hand-crafted by working artists. It is a great place to find one of a kind item for the upcoming holiday season.

The Uncommon Threads raffle is also on display, with over fifty prizes including many ceramics pieces handcrafted by Fine Line faculty and associated artists.  Tickets to the raffle are available for purchase at the event up to mid-day, when lunch service begins.

The runway show begins after lunch.  This year will see the work of twenty-four artists, each showing mini clothing collections of between 3-5 pieces.  The models walking the runway are all volunteers of Fine Line.  They spend weeks planning and rehearsing to ensure the show is polished and entertaining.

Once the runway show is complete, and the raffle prize names are drawn, there is time for a second look around the boutique area.  All the items on from the runway are transferred to the boutique area where they are available for closer inspection and purchase.

This event is the primary fundraising for Fine Line Creative Arts Center, 37W570 Bolcum Rd, St. Charles IL, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.  Tickets are $65.00 and available for purchase online at www.fineline.org or by calling 630-584-9443 (Monday -Saturday 10 am – 5 pm).

Tickets must be purchased before the event; no tickets are available on the day of show.
