1960s Clothing And Fashion Exhibit At The Allentown Art Museum

Advertisement

Groovy New Exhibition Now Open

The Allentown Art Museum is pleased to announce the opening of a major exhibition, “Fashion as Experiment: The ’60s.” “Fashion as Experiment: The ’60s” features more than 100 garments and accessories from the museum’s collection that illustrate the tumultuous mood of the decade, ranging from hippie looks to bold ready-to-wear designs by André Courrèges, Vera Neumann, and more. This fun and colorful exhibition shows how 1960s youth used fashion to express new views and values and spark a wave of social and political change in America.

“Fashion as Experiment: The ’60s” continues through Sept. 24 and will be supplemented by ’60s-themed programs at the museum throughout the spring and summer, including a series of upcycling workshops, knitting, tie-dying, and more. Admission to the museum and galleries is free of charge. Hours are Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to

4 p.m. and Third Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

“Fashion as Experiment: The ’60s” presents styles such as Mod and Pop along psychedelic looks that capture the decade’s exuberant and irreverent attitude. These styles set the stage for countercultural fashions of the late 1960s and early 1970s, including globally inspired designs as well as thrifted and handmade garments.

Early this year, the museum put out a call to the community for vintage family photos showing ’60s styles, and a selection of those are included in the exhibition on a digital display.

The museum is located at 31 N. 5th St., Allentown, Pa. For further information, visit www.AllentownArt Museum.org.

SHREWSBURY ANTIQUE CENTER 65 N. Highland Dr. “A True Antique Mall” graduated in 1961. He attended Elizabethtown College. Dan began his 33-year career with Publix Shirt Company, based in New York City, starting in the pattern making department and working his way up to Director of Quality Control.

Over 10,000 sq.ft. with over 60 dealers.

Open 7 days, 10-5. Ample parking. Close to other shops in historic village.

In 1968, Dan took an adult education class focusing on the folk art of the

Pennsylvania Germans, who immigrated to the Berks County area as early as the 1700s. He was enamored with the woodcarvings of that era, so he began teaching himself to carve wooden figures using only a pocketknife, as did the early Pennsylvania German settlersin his area. Thus began his 50-plus year career in folk carving. Dan has been written up in many magazines and newspaper articles, and you can find his carvings in several historical societies. In 2016, Dan was honored by Conrad Weiser High School, receiving their Distinguished Alumi Award. Carving was truly what kept him going, especially in his later years.
