17th Annual Trashion Refashion Runway Show Sponsored by Plato’s Closet
Returns to Buskirk-Chumley Theater on April 12, 2026
Bloomington, IN – The 17th Annual Trashion Refashion Runway Show, presented by Plato’s
Closet, brings eco-conscious couture back to the Buskirk-Chumley Theater on Sunday, April 12, 2026,
at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.). This beloved event blends high fashion with sustainability,
showcasing over 50 original, upcycled designs modeled by a diverse cast of community members.
A highlight of Bloomington’s arts scene since 2010, the show promotes environmental sustainability
and artistic creativity while challenging conventional notions about beauty and consumerism. Each of
the juried show’s designs consists of at least 90% discarded materials, either rescued from the waste
stream (Trashion) or transformed from underutilized garments (Refashion). The show is also
committed to cultivating diversity among its models with regard to gender, age, race, body type and
other categories.
This fundraising event to support the Center for Sustainable Living features locally made couture
sure to inspire the fashion creatives lurking inside us all.

The MADD 3v3 Basketball Tournament is a community-based event that brings together local teams, families, and supporters for a fun and competitive day of basketball, all while supporting a meaningful cause. Hosted by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), the tournament helps raise funds to support MADD’s mission to end drunk and drugged driving, support victims and survivors, and prevent underage drinking. Proceeds from the event benefit victim advocacy services, educational programs, and community awareness initiatives that promote safer roads. The tournament is more than just basketball, it’s an opportunity for the community to come together, promote responsible choices, and make a positive impact. We will also be honoring local law enforcement for going above and beyond in OWI arrest and assisting in crashes. There will be a speaker on how MADD has made an impact on their family. Texas Roadhouse will be catering the event for those who attend.
