Beginning Sep 16, Enjoy a series of special evenings that provide VMFA members the opportunity to view Treasures of Ancient Egypt: Sunken Cities on a night of members-only access to the exhibition. Single-cardholder members may reserve one free guest ticket each week, and dual-cardholder members may reserve two free guest tickets to the exhibition.

Dive into one of the most astonishing underwater discoveries of all time. The exhibition is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see treasures recovered from two powerful ancient Egyptian cities that sank into the Mediterranean more than a thousand years ago. Destroyed by natural catastrophes in the 8th century AD, Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus were once mighty centers of trade, where Egyptian and Greek cultures merged in art, worship, and everyday life.

On view at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, this exhibition features designer renderings and garments created by 42 Virginia students, in grades six through twelve, who participated in the May 2, 2021, Teen Stylin’: Tempo Runway Show. The works in this exhibition include the winning garments in these categories: Best in Show, Best Use of Materials, Most Creative Construction, Best Interpretation of a Work of Art, Best Interpretation of the Theme, and Most Wearable.

Teen Stylin’ is an annual VMFA program that challenges students with a passion for clothing design, studio arts, installation art, and creative construction to make a unique, wearable work of art. Participants worked for twelve weeks, from February to April, with local fashion designers and studio arts instructors to construct garments inspired by objects from the VMFA collection. Teen Stylin’ culminates with a runway exhibition show featuring students’ designs.

This year’s theme, “Tempo,” was inspired by VMFA’s special exhibition The Dirty South: Contemporary Art, Material Culture, and the Sonic Impulse. Students reflected on how music and sound could influence and/or be integrated into their final garment.

In response to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of participants created their garments at home with online assistance from instructors. A small group of participants was selected to complete garments on campus during weekly workshops and during the museum’s Open Studios that take place on select Sundays.
