Limited-Edition Pop-up Shop that’s like an Art Gallery Meets Retail, Open Until July 22

NEW YORK, NY, USA, May 26, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The first pop-up curated by Lesley Ware of The Creative Cookie, Art to Ware, is now open in NYC. Socially conscious, upcycled, and handmade focused items will be available.

The pricing ranges from $3 (flowers and small things like patches & pins) - $700 (original artwork and intricate handmade wearables). There will be a special collaboration with Nuuly, a subscription clothing rental brand, where out of circulation items were donated to be upcycled and repurposed.

“I am striving to create sustainable solutions to bring positive change to fashion,” said Ware. “I think we’re in a time when people want to know where their clothes come from.” It will provide a platform for local artists, brands, and designers to showcase their work in a retail setting.

Brands Featured are:
● Lesley Ware
● Yellow Cakeshop by Valerie Mayen
● Elements by Land
● Christine Jiwon Ra
● Googly Eye Cru
● Ooh Baby
● Dana Robinson
● Alexa Stark
● Victor Varnado

Ware received the opportunity to bring her dream of having a retail space to life after being chosen by Chashama, a non-profit arts organization that helps artists access spaces to create and connect in New York City. You can visit the Art to Ware, a Curated Fashion Pop Up at 21 Greenwich Avenue, New York, NY 10014. From April 28- July 22. Hours are Wednesday - Sunday 1 pm-7 pm.
