ART BRA AUSTIN

Art Bra Austin, now in its sixth year, is Breast Cancer Resource Center's (BCRC) signature fundraiser. Every year, Austin’s talented community of artists, designers, and jewelers submit their original works of wearable art that are showcased by a dynamic group of Art Bra Austin models, creating an enchanting evening where everyone involved from the artists to the models and stylists donates their time and services. Approximately 60 to 70 pieces are selected from over 100 submissions to be offered for auction the night of the event. Top submissions are auctioned live during the runway show with winning bids as high as $8,500.

THE ART BRA MODELS

All Art Bra Austin Models are breast cancer survivors and clients of Breast Cancer Resouce Center (BCRC). This feisty group of women reflects the diversity of the thousands of women we serve annually. For most, Art Bra Austin is a transformative experience. This unique event is a tribute to their courage, strength, and tenacity.
