Autopilot Art

It’s been quite awhile since Autopilot Art has had a runway show and we think it’s about time to wow you with our new hip line of soft and comfy Hoodies, Dresses, Shorts, Skirts, T-shirts, Onsies, and Tunics for Men, Women, Kids, and Babies for Summer!

This show will be super fun because not only are there kids in the show again but this time they are mixed-in with the adults. They’ll be walking alone, paired with other kids, and paired with adults. It wouldn’t be an Autopilot show if Leroy the French Bulldog didn’t make an appearance as well.

The Cocktail Hour/Doors open at 6PM to give you a chance to get a snack, drink, and a good seat while DJ Jacob Thiele plays music for you. He will also be DJing the runway show with a music mix by Alexia Thiele.

The Runway portion will start promptly at 7PM, since we have little ones that need to get to bed. The Runway show itself will only last about 30 minutes so don’t be late!
Another fun part of this Runway is that we have teamed-up with Scout Dry Goods! They are providing shoes and accessories for our adult models as they walk the runway. In the week following the show Autopilot Art will then also be for sale at Scout! So stop in and check out our stuff, their cool vintage wear, and fun items from other local designers and artists.

Immediately following the Runway some AMAZING musicians are lined-up to play short acoustic sets for you while you are able to shop for all the looks you JUST saw go down the runway, enjoy some wine, beer, red bull, and snacks, have your photo taken on the runway for our blog by Christopher Couse Photography, and spend time meeting with the models and designers.

Musicians penciled-in to play so far are:
-Eric Morelli of The Study Band from Portland, OR (thestudyband.com)
-Vic Padios and Shane Lamson
-Miniature Horse -Rachel Tomlinson Dick’s solo project
-Laura Burhenn of The Mynabirds (themynabirds.com)
