Presented by the Haywood County Arts Council (HCAC), the “Fashion for the Arts” fundraiser will be held from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29, at the Waynesville Inn & Golf Club. 

A unique event blending fashion, local culture and community support, the gathering is organized by Ann Walsh, the visionary owner of Ava & Arden Boutique on Main Street in Waynesville.

Attendees will enjoy a “show and tell” fashion experience, where models donning Ava & Arden’s new fall collection will walk among the tables, all while sharing exclusive details about the outfits.

This engaging approach offers more than just a visual spectacle. It provides an intimate look into the world of fashion, complete with practical demonstrations on scarf tying and styling tips for every body type.

The afternoon will be complemented by live music from Haywood County’s own Blue Light Fusion, setting the perfect ambiance for this chic gathering. Guests will also savor a soup and salad lunch at the Waynesville Inn & Golf Club. A cash bar will also be available.

In addition to the fashion and fun, a silent auction featuring a variety of local treasures will be held. Attendees can preview items online, with more exclusive pieces up for grabs at the event. All proceeds from the auction and event will benefit the HCAC, ultimately supporting its mission to foster creativity and the arts in our community.
