KMAC Couture is a wearable live art runway show presented by KMAC Museum. It is the signature fundraiser that provides funding for our educational programs and exhibitions. This event offers a unique way to experience art and fashion. KMAC Couture features and supports emerging and established artists, costumers, designers, and milliners through the extraordinary presentation of original couture pieces of wearable art and conceptual fashion designs. All money raised during the event goes directly toward supporting our programming, so we welcome any contributions. If you have any interest in becoming a sponsor for this year's event, you can find more information here.
