House of GOCA: Psychedelic Garden - Full Runway Show

"House of GOCA" is a new Wearable Art and Fashion event, hosted annually by the Galleries of Contemporary Art (GOCA) at the Ent Center for the Arts. On Friday, February 28, 2025, guests stepped into a mesmerizing world where sculpture and fashion collided! This immersive event was an evening of bold artistry, inspired by the transformative beauty of Patrick Shearn’s exhibition, "Psycullescence".

"House of GOCA: The Psychedelic Garden" featured avant-garde creations from nine visionary Front Range designers and creative teams, offering a unique runway experience where sculpture meets fashion. Guests were immersed in a dazzling fusion of art and nature, with designs blooming like radiant flowers in an enchanted garden. Enjoy this video showcasing the full runway presentation from the inaugural event!
