Fouchard’s and Gallery Miriam present a fashion show and exhibition, showcasing works of African-inspired Wearable Art.

Location: PopShopolis, 3393 Main Street, College Park, GA 30337

Fouchard’s is a clothing brand that draws its inspiration from art in general and above all from African art. The idea comes from the fact that art should no longer be limited to walls in homes and museums, as these can be formal places sometimes reserved for a certain category of people. Fouchard’s would like to, through its clothing line, make art even more visible through Wearable Art. The pieces are unique and made with the collaboration of African artists. Fouchard’s also works with African artisans to promote their creations, and at the same time support the community by repatriating a percentage of the income obtained through sales.

Gallery Miriam specializes in the promotion of works by young artists from French-speaking Africa. Many of the young artists presented are award winners of European and Asian competitions. Their works hang on the walls of homes and galleries from Europe to Asia and offer a glimpse of their countries of origin. Though the Gallery specializes in art from French-speaking Africa, they also include works from the rest of the continent and the diaspora.
