UNSTITCHED finds home thanks to Urban Dream Brokerage

UNSTITCHED: Local Fashion Revolution is open to the community again this April 1st - 30th 2017, to help you revitalise your love of the clothes you wear. The pop-up project will be New Zealand's largest community event as part of the international movement Fashion Revolution. It aims to bring people together from around the world to use the power of fashion to change the story for the people who make the world’s clothes and accessories.

As a community event, it’s not usually easy to find great spaces, but thanks toUrban Dream Brokerage, we have just signed the lease to revitalise the long-vacant retail space at 23 Princes St, Dunedin. This light and spacious site, right in the heart of Dunedin, is the perfect shell for us to create our vibrant interactive education and sewing centre, where the whole community can meet, share, learn and create.

A Boost for UNSTITCHED!

We have a few more challenges ahead of us before we get to this goal!

We need help to raise money to cover the costs of the project, and keep workshops and resources accessible to all, without the burden of high participation fees. We also need to make sure our marketing reaches throughout the Dunedin community to invite as many people as possible to join this fun and empowering revolution! (Plus there are a few boring costs like power and paint... :) )

We are incredibly grateful that initial funding for this project has been granted through Creative NZ’s Creative Communities grants scheme, and through the DCC Community Grants scheme.. Now is the chance for everyone in the community to be part of the solution.
We are running a crowd funding campaign through BOOSTED. This will run March 1st - 31st, with a target to reach $3,000. With 3 weeks still to go, we have reached a fantastic 23% of our goal.
