Kirkland Arts Center will celebrate local culture with an exciting fusion of art and fashion during its second annual Locavore event.

Locavore aims to bring the community of Kirkland together through wine, food, and art, while striving to uplift local artisans who support a vibrant, creative, and forward-thinking region.

Locavore runs from 12:30-6 p.m. Saturday, May 19 at the Kirkland Arts Center, 620 Market St., Kirkland.

This year, KAC is taking a new approach – one with a unique fusion of art and fashion. Through the belief that art is not bound to walls or floor, KAC anticipates the element of fashion design to make a bold statement as it walks down the runway. KAC will host this celebratory event at 12:30 p.m. at the KAC, Gallery Wine and Art and Kirkland Masonic Lodge.

KAC will present five collections on the runway featuring three local boutiques, a group of four independent designers and one collection of artist and designer collaborations.

The afternoon will also feature a VIP wine tasting, local food and wine samplings, and the Jodi Bardinelli Award Ceremony, honoring a community leader. For tickets and information visit www.kirklandartscenter.org/?q=locavore.
