Tiffany Blue (AKA - Dennis Vedock, the owner/operator of DV Couture, LLC) will docent the costume exhibit. The exhibit features the famous 'Rainbow Peacock Ball Gown' from Tiffany's 'Art is a Drag' photoshoot and 'Blue Sequin Mermaid Gown'.

About the RAINBOW PEACOCK BALL GOWN ~

The base fabric of this gown is a stunning, sequined rainbow-peacock pattern with an accented train of rainbow feathers with an accompanying rainbow-feather collar.

I created this gown for my one-year drag anniversary which was in May of 2016.

It took about 25 hours to assemble the more-than 3,000 feathers of the train and collar alone.

This gown won best "creative presentation" for Tiffany Ross in the 2016 Ocala Pride Pageant.

The "Blue Sequin Mermaid Gown" will be a surprise for those attending the art portion of the "Art is a Drag" event. The gown was created with a blue and green designer sequin fabric. It has a high collar, long sleeves and is accented with a black sequin mermaid train. This dress was inspired by the fabulous Shady Zeineldine. Including the underlining this gown took 17 yards of fabric.

About Us

On April 15,2017, 6-12midnight, the Sanford Art Walk gets a shot of glamboyance with an infusion of Drag Queens and drag related exhibits and performances. Come as you are or Drag for the night. Drag Queens of all varieties (pros, wannabes, just-for-the-night, as well as Fauxs and Kings) are invited to parade the Art Walk route, play "Art & Drag" games and attend a fabulous after-party & show at the Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center in downtown Sanford, Florida. “Art Is a Drag” is produced by the Sanford Art Walk. Originating from the point of view that visual art & Drag are both pure forms of creativity and self-expression - whether good or bad, tasteful or tacky, both take guts to produce and even more to exhibit. The 'arts community' of Sanford believed that combining the two art forms for a special Art Walk evening would create at minimum a celebration of the act of self-expression, at best an Art Happening that will be exhilarating to all who encounter. The Sanford Art Walk is produced by the Historic Sanford Welcome Center which is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to enrich the Sanford experience through the promotion of Sanford as an arts, culture, recreation and historic destination.
