Art2Wear continues its traditions in pushing fashion and form in their 2026 exhibit: Symbiosis. Symbiosis works to integrate designers’ understanding of interactions, push and pulls, constraints and appendages. Whether ancient interactions between humanity and nature or emerging engagements with technologies, this year explores polarities in interactions to showcase the impact of forces and the world’s curation when things come together.

Art2Wear 2026 will take place in three showings at The Gregg Museum of Art and Design April 23rd and April 24th. Tickets go live April 1st at 10 am. We hope to see you there to showcase an array of wearable art from Art2Wear’s traditional year long collections and looks to wearable paper projects and semester studio garments.

Designers looked into cross-cultural pollination, biological contamination, and their evolutions, lineages of logic, technological dependencies and pheromonal tendencies.

Come see their work during Fashion Week, a cross campus collaboration between the College of Design and the Wilson College of Textiles including studio tours, textile markets, fashion shows, and showcases.
