THE
DRESS
PROJECT
First launched in 2015, Project ACOG+ A Study in Dress as Art is a specially crafted curriculum that guides students through drawing inspiration from works of art at the Portland Museum of Art to design and build one-of-a-kind fashion pieces.
Because of its intensity, the project is offered only every few years, with each iteration culminating in a runway-style presentation—most recently at the 2025 Empow{h}er fundraiser.
During the 2020–21 program year, the runway show was recorded due to COVID. Watch it here!
