Heritage Institute seeks fashion designers

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Sealaska Heritage Institute officials are looking for Northwest coast Native artists and fashion designers to submit original works for a fashion show next year at an auction in Juneau.

Officials say the fashion show will be a key feature at the Tinaa (Tin-AH’) Art Auction scheduled for Feb. 1.

The deadline to apply as a participant in the fashion show is Oct. 7.

The art auction is a fundraiser for construction of the planned Walter Soboleff Center, an educational facility named after late Tlingit leader Dr. Walter Soboleff, who died in 2011 at age 102.

Sealaska Heritage Institute is the nonprofit cultural and educational arm of Juneau-based Sealaska Corp., a regional Native corporation.
