Studios, Style, Swap @ Root Division
All Ages | Free Admission
RSVP HERE
Root Division presents Studios, Style, Swap, a sustainable fashion-themed event on Saturday, April 11, from 4–7 PM.
Expect a clothing swap, live screen-printing, hands-on workshops, and a lineup of local vendors.
Got gems hiding in your closet? Bring 3–5 gently worn pieces, including clothing, shoes, or accessories, and swap them for something new to you.
Come dressed to impress. We’ll have a photographer on hand snapping fit pics, and we’ll share our favorites on IG.
We’ll also debut a new exhibition by Berkeley-based surrealist painter Taylor Stoneman, alongside open studios where you can drop in and see artists at work in real time.
