Inspired by The Red Dress, Calico Dress #9 (the black dress) joins a series of linked collaborative garments through the Calico Garment Initiative. The Red Dress project was conceived by Kirstie Macleod, a British artist, and provides an artistic platform for a diverse group of individuals and communities around the world to tell their stories through embroidery. The Initiative builds on the legacy of The Red Dress by bringing a smaller-scale project to local communities. Through embroidery and other textile decoration techniques, the stories and cultures of the community are captured on fabric to be shared and celebrated for years to come. Pieces of Calico Dress #9 will be completed through a series of 4 workshops and events hosted in Renton open to the public and supportive of those with all skill levels - after all, these pieces of the dress are a celebration of the many peoples and cultures that call the Renton area home! All materials will be provided and instruction will be available for those wishing to explore a new artistic medium. Each workshop will host up to 25 people to ensure everyone attending has an opportunity to contribute to the pieces and last for 2-4 hours depending on the venue. The pieces of the dress will be assembled after the workshops are completed and will be available to be displayed at public events and locations so that it can be enjoyed at no cost to the public. The workshops aim to support the grant goals of increasing access to the arts by providing free educational programs and improving arts and cultural opportunities for artists and audiences from diverse communities. 1700 11/1/2025-11/30/2025 Brief project description Provide a full description, including how the project addresses the Art Grants Program Goals you identiǕed in the application (500 word max) Funding Amount What is the amount that you are requesting from the Renton Art Grants Program List the beginning and ending date of your project * 7/20/25, 10:47 PM RMAC 2025 Grant Application https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13wnflJ99sd5TCcKNMedgoHQOiIB0F8wbOmU3VB1kHjs/edit#response=ACYDBNiJBwL8ipw3-JRxF0WQ94BZwUe7…4/7 %FDBOE These workshops are meant to provide opportunities for those who would not otherwise be able to afford classes or materials to explore the medium of embroidery and ornamentation of fabric.

I have taught historical craft in my hometown in central PA, was a college theater lead costumer in Boston, and taught historical crafts at the Renaissance Faire in Irwindale, CA. I also create paper embroidery pieces as an amateur artist. I’m currently the Treasurer for the Kent Arts Commission and am serving as the President/Executive Director for Tag Out Puget Sound, a WA non-pro´t (501(c)(3) pending) focused on supporting and promoting consent in community murals. Tag Out Puget Sound (TOPS) completed our ´rst mural space in May 2025.

Inspired by The Red Dress, Calico Dress #9 (the black dress) joins a series of linked collaborative garments through the Calico Garment Initiative. The Red Dress project was conceived by Kirstie Macleod, a British artist, and provides an artistic platform for a diverse group of individuals and communities around the world to tell their stories through embroidery. The Initiative builds on the legacy of The Red Dress by bringing a smaller-scale project to local communities. Through embroidery and other textile decoration techniques, the stories and cultures of the community are captured on fabric to be shared and celebrated for years to come. Calico Dress #9 will be completed through a series of workshops and events open to the public and supportive of those with all skill levels - after all, the dress is a celebration of the many peoples and cultures that call the Seattle area home! All materials will be provided and instruction will be available for those wishing to explore a new artistic medium. HOW DO I GET INVOLVED? Come to one of the open workshops (Fall 2025, dates coming soon) or contact Jen to coordinate a new event! If you’re unable to attend in person, appliques can be mailed by December 1, 2025 and will be integrated onto the dress (please note that you will need to provide your own materials and shipping for this option). WHAT CAN I MAKE FOR THE DRESS? The dress is a celebration of the stories and cultures that make up our community and will be displayed publicly. Vulgar and obscene art is not a part of this project and will not be accepted. Any embroidery technique is welcome, and appliques sent by mail must be stable enough to be stitched onto the dress without the need for fusible backing. All designs must be original to the artist (no commercial pre-made patterns - these are our stories, after all)!
