Fashion is another addition to this year's cadre of events. Art comes in all forms. This year's show will feature Emmy Award winning hair stylist to the stars Robert Stevenson. He will be displaying some of his wigs, hair sculptures and ink art featuring hairstyles and head gear. Along side will be Westchester High's fashion students displaying some their culturally influenced fashion creations.

Intergenerational art contributors from the veteran, Mr. Floyd Bell, master wood doll carver to the student artists are all are part of the art community in Westchester. Bell who is the bridge builder for this exhibit bringing students and professionals together on the artistic stage, quotes "My vision for the show is to have professional artists display and sell their artwork right along side the apprentice artist." This day promises to show the emerging of novice artist to the accomplished professionals both in the visual as well as performing arts. Admission to the ART Walk is free to the public.
