Part of KUZU's inspiration stems from our desire to be an experience rather than just a place to shop. To accomplish this we decided to hold quarterly themes with which to create our clothing lines around as well as the over-all apperence of our boutique and sculptures. When we had our grand opening ceremony the theme was Environ, which to us was our experience and interpretation of our surroundings in the store/ warehouse. Our murals, clothing and sculptures reflected this. For our Fall Fashion Show/ Re-Opening we had the Age of Aquarius as our central theme. KUZU completely changed everything that just four months before we had struggled to produce. We re-painted the murals, the walls, re-organized the store front, made new sculptures and a fresh Fall line of clothing in response to our new Aquarius theme. We work extremely hard to bust out completely new experiences for our customers and KUZU plans to go all out for our up-coming theme! We have a new Accessories line, a Spring Fashion Show and line, new sculptures and gallery openings as well as fun family events planned monthly for the following quarter!
The new theme is centered around Insects and Nature! And to kick off our new theme we have an event that is not to be missed!
KUZU presents:
PROJECT INsect: with it's artists Jessa and James Huebing-Retinger. This two-day event; starting Friday December 18th (11am till 8pm) and Saturday December 19th (11am till 5pm), will be an informative and fun event for kids of ALL ages! And best of all, it's FREE! They not only have a 'Bug Trunk Show' (6:30pm on Friday) and hand-painted insect tattoos planned, but a LIVE book reading (at 1pm and 4pm both days) and signing of their newly published book about Mildred the Praying Mantis! Jessa and James are truly talented artists and fun, genuine individuals, and even if you don't like bugs and live ones give you the willies, their beautiful insect inspired paintings will truly inspire and amaze you! By viewing their insects under magnification they carefully and delicately paint every tiny detail onto canvas of (sometimes) enormous proportions! Their artwork alone is worth seeing!
So for the bug lovers and art lovers in us all, come out and meet Project Insect, experience KUZU and learn about the world of insects through art! With 10% of the proceeds supporting the Tucson's Children's Museum! http://www.tucsonchildrensmuseum.org/index.php
