FREE ART RECEPTION: “Industrial Chic” Costume Gallery
May 2 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Worn metal meets modern chic in the 2025 Costume Gallery presented by the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) Production Arts Department. These innovative student designs can be viewed at a FREE Opening Reception on May 2, 2025 from 6-8 PM in the school’s Corpora Gallery as part of the Southside Arts District First Friday celebration. According to the school’s Artistic Director or Production Arts, Carlo Acerra “An experiment with mixing industrial inspired pieces with more feminine elements, students have created garments that fit the theme of Industrial Chic. The Gallery features original garments designed and created by upperclassmen costuming students and paper dresses crafted by our freshmen”. ABOUT THE CHARTER ARTS PRODUCTION ARTS DEPARTMENT: Students in this department explore the making of both live and recorded entertainment productions through producing, event management, design, technology and construction. Students graduate with skills in set design and construction, costume design and construction, audio and video production, lighting design, stage management, prop fabrication, special effects makeup application, projection design and animation, and more. Production Arts students collaborate as a design team to produce original works including but not limited to: design-centric performance, multi-medium collages, and immersive installations. The Production Arts Department offers students the opportunity to work with directors, choreographers and peers on conceptualizing, designing, and creating for school-wide events and performances.
