COEUR d'ALENE - Junk2Funk Eco-Fashion Show takes center stage this year at the Eagles Club Ballroom, 209 Sherman Ave. in downtown Coeur d'Alene on Saturday, Oct. 16 at 6:30 p.m.

Forty-five local artists, including middle school art students, will demonstrate their environmentally-friendly creative talents by turning junk and recycled materials into fun designer outfits and accessories.

The accessories will be up for bid in a silent auction.

There will be music and beverages available.

"Come witness this amazing collaboration of art and the environment where local artists create eco-fashion items from their recycled materials, be it old clothing or almost anything that would normally be destined for the landfill, as well as their collected junk," said a press release.

Sponsors include DOMA Coffee Roasting Company, The Art Spirit Gallery, the Coeur d'Alene Press and Crowberry Graphics. Proceeds benefit the Kootenai Environmental Alliance.

The Junk2Funk Eco-Fashion Show is in conjunction with Coeur d'Alene's Arts & Culture Alliance "Art from the Heart" week.

Tickets are $24.99 for a "trash-n-good" time ($29.99 at the door) and are available in Coeur d'Alene at The Art Spirit Gallery, 415 Sherman Ave., Java on Sherman, 324 Sherman Ave. or by phone, 667-9093.
