Yes the aquarium has been closed since 2005 - it needs funding support for maintenance and recovery to reopen. This excursion was to prepare for a large group fashion shoot on-site in a few weeks.
PHOTO SHOOT
The Abandoned In Detroit fashion showcase project will be holding a photo shoot with models, designers, stylists, and photographers on Sunday, September 18 at the aquarium. The project works with registered members to keep their portfolios up to date, bring talent together through the project's community, and assist members in growth in the fashion industry.
EXHIBITION AND FASHION SHOW
The project will be holding a photo exhibition and fashion show during the Detroit Design Festival from September 21-28 (Wednesday-Wednesday), at Red Door Gallery. On Sunday, September 25 a fashion show will be held. During the week-long event series a portion of proceeds is being donated through the Friends of Belle Isle Aquarium toward renovation and repairs to the aquarium.
PROJECT MISSION
The mission of the Abandoned In Detroit project is to document the emergence and evolution of fashion set against the changing landscape of Detroit. Noting how change influences the designs of the city. A list of designers and locations the project has worked with since 2005 for 25 photo shoots is on the official website - AbandonedInDetroit.org.
