In the past, we have helped fundraise with donated artwork for the “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society. This year, our contribution is to create fashionable, artistic mannequins that will serve as tabletop décor to be auctioned off during their "Revive" event on November 4, 2026.
The event itself invites artists to create wearable designs using recycled items and offers eligibility for high-value prizes. See their website for details on that opportunity. https://dingdarlingsociety.org/revive
For members of the Guild, please reach out to Laura Adams if you would like to “dress” a mannequin. Many of you still have mannequins from when we distributed them in anticipation of the event, which was sadly canceled. Remember, you must use at least 85% recycled or upcycled materials when creating your mannequin attire, and please—no adult or political content.
Completed mannequins are due at the first meeting of the coming season in September. See images below of mannequins from previous years for inspiration!
