Join us at the Bata Shoe Museum for an enlightening panel discussion that delves into the multifaceted world of art and its profound impact on fashion. This engaging event will explore essential questions such as: What is art? Why do we collect it? And how do we perceive art in the realm of fashion? Whether you are an art aficionado, a fashion enthusiast, or simply curious about the dialogue between these two worlds, this panel talk promises to inspire and inform. Our panel will feature the Bata Shoe Museum’s Director Senior Curator Elizabeth Semmelhack, Deputy Director & Chief Curator of the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) Julian Cox, Creative Director, Curator, and founder of D.PE Agency Ashley McKenzie-Barnes, and Co-founder of Makeway, Canada’s pioneering sneaker boutique for women Abby Albino. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this vibrant conversation!
