ATLANTA TTN PROGRAMS:

 
Guo Pei:  Couture Beyond Exhibition at SCAD

Join us in January as we revisit the 
G uo Pei: Couture Beyond Exhibition at SCAD Fashion which was cancelled to the public last minute in October. 
T his will be a docent-led tour to avoid any  museum closure issues.  Those who have free passes from the last visit may use them.  The date and time is Friday, January 19th, at 11:30am.  We will meet in the Fashion Museum lobby between 11:15 and 11:30.  Following the tour, we will have lunch at a nearby restaurant.  

This solo exhibition highlights the work of acclaimed fashion designer Guo Pei, the first Chinese national designer invited to join the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.
 

SCAD Fashion Museum is extending a group rate price of $5/person instead of their standard general admission price of $10/regular, $8/senior or military so don't miss out on this great opportunity.   Please RSVP for this event to Peggy Bartolotta at

Address: 1600 Peachtree Street, NE Atlanta, GA 30309
