Glamour Moves: NIAD's Fashion Show and Runway Event

On Saturday, September 12th, NIAD presents Glamour Moves, our signature fashion show and runway event at our 23rd Street Studios in Richmond — NIAD's answer to the Met Gala, and a runway celebration all our own. 

Glamour Moves embodies the spirit of our organization: a joyful celebration where 200+ community members gather to cheer on NIAD artists as they walk their own designs down the runway, feeling beautiful, creative, and empowered. 

The afternoon features original garments, jewelry, and accessories designed and modeled by NIAD artists, alongside live performances, cocktails, food, an exhibition, and a community party in our gallery and courtyard sculpture garden.

There are no stairs to enter the NIAD building. The building is one level and has push-button opening doors. The sidewalk has curb cut-outs and is wide enough for a wheelchair. The galleries and studio are all located in the same building.

The Center is located on a busy street with frequent traffic noise that can be heard inside the galleries. During events, the studio is filled with conversation, music, bright lighting, and smells produced by art materials.

A low-sensory room with seating is located off the NIAD courtyard. Sound will be minimized as much as possible.

Our restrooms are accessible to people using mobility devices. We have a gender neutral restroom and an adult changing station.

Mask-wearing is encouraged.
