How can you use your voice to bend, alter, and illuminate? Ignite change, stimulate dialogue, or convey a full spectrum of possibility? In a stream of voices we dare to question what brought us to this point and begin to pave a new path. We dilate the community values we already hold dear. We break from the stream of monotony, apathy and disillusion. We welcome a bright light of optimism for the future and a deep appreciation of the past.

The Annual Benefit Fashion Show

is officially in its 3rd decade, and with it a rush of new realities in the world around us. For the 31st Annual Benefit Fashion Show (ABFS), we take the past and flip it on its head; reinventing what it taught us and what we can become because of it. We REFRACT, bending and breaking boundaries, twisting traditions, and expanding expectations to become something familiar but new.

Curated, created and directed by MICA students, this annual tradition features practical and outrageous creations by students from a wide array of majors and backgrounds.

Founded by Dr. Frankie Martin thirty-one years ago in collaboration with the BSU, ABFS raises essential funds for student scholarships, empowering the next generation of creative leaders.

Support, celebrate, and be inspired.
