Art X Fashion @ The Museum at FIT

Admission to the museum is free. This exhibition will be on display from February 19 until April 19, 2026. If you cannot attend the opening, please stop in and see the show at your convenience. Call ahead for hours. This exhibition is a comprehensive exploration of the symbiotic relationship between the world of fashion and fine art. Featuring more than 140 objects, including garments, accessories, textiles, photographs, and original artworks drawn from MFIT's permanent collection, *Art X Fashion* challenges the traditional hierarchies of visual culture, presenting fashion and art each as parallel, potent expressions of social, intellectual, and creative forces. Curated by Dr. Elizabeth Way, curator of costume and accessories at MFIT, the exhibition reflects MFIT's mission to advance the understanding and appreciation of fashion's critical role in culture. The core of *Art X Fashion* lies in its profound engagement with the eternal question: "Is fashion art?" The exhibition explores the ways that fashion has always been a partner, not a follower, of fine art, highlighting typically overlooked integrations throughout history. This includes examples of how the two disciplines have worked together to create European styles, from the drama of Rococo and Neoclassical grandeur to the unsettling world of Surrealism, to the shock of Pop Art and postmodernism. **Share your excitement using #ArtXFashionMFIT** **Go to https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/exhibitions/art-fashion/index.php for more information.**

Gentleman will have new friends connect time in a private area as well! Speed dating will then begin! The men will be blind folded the entire speed dating, while the ladies will rotate for each round. For ladies and men, there will be special optional questions to ask to heighten the experience but it is not mandatory! We carefully set up the process so that neither the men nor women will be able to see each other will have to make selections based on personality! ***"I wasn’t sure what to expect, but not seeing the person first really helped me focus on what matters—our connection. It was refreshing!"*** ***— Alex R., Event Attendee*** THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 15 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP REFLECTS ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF ATTENDEES. *WHY IT WORKS:* ***\*\* 82%*** *of participants in a study on blind dating said they felt more "genuine" and "authentic" when they couldn't judge their partner's appearance (Source: Psychology Today).* *\*\* Studies have shown that people who initially meet without seeing each other are **more likely to find deeper emotional connections** and establish **long-lasting relationships** (Source: Journal of Social and Personal Relationships).* *\*\* A report from The University of California, Berkeley, found that **satisfaction in relationships tends to be more stable when based on personality compatibility** rather than initlal appearance.* After the speed dating, the genders will be separated once more while the matches are selected and then handed in! There will be a complimentary after party in which everyone can mix and mingle over complimentary pool, ping pong, giant jenga and other cool games, For every drink purchased, your next will be half off the entire evening!
