Celebrating the Arts at Santa Monica Place

This summer, one hundred local artists, designers, fashion industry leaders and community members will have one thing in common: The Mannequin Collective. Their muse and medium is nothing but a blank canvas — the immutable, immovable fashion icon known as the mannequin.

 

When complete, The Mannequin Collective art exhibit will encompass one hundred original expressions of art created by the hands of the LA arts community. The top five mannequins, chosen by a jury of local artists and community leaders, will be prominently displayed at the Otis campus in Westchester, as well as on the fashion campus in downtown Los Angeles. The complete collection will be on exhibit at Santa Monica Place later this year.

 

 

 

The grand design winner, as chosen by a panel of community leaders and local artists, will have a $10,000 scholarship donated in his or her name to Otis College of Art and Design. This donation will help support scholarship opportunities for continuing education in the arts.

 

The Mannequin Collective is a reflection of Santa Monica Place’s ongoing commitment to the arts and its community — a community that deserves to be celebrated for its talent and diversity. Look for the complete Mannequin Collective art exhibit at the grand opening of Santa Monica Place this summer.
