EnspiRED Runway is a fashion and arts charity organization and was founded 13 years ago. EnspiRED Runway is a fashion and arts charity organization dedicated to creating a platform for creatives across the campus. Annually, they host a student-ran fashion show with student models, student designers, and student leaders. A portion of their proceed are donated to a charity of our choice and for the last two years, they have collaborated with Ozone House, a homeless youth shelter in the Washtenaw area. Their commitment to the arts and cultivation of family and community on the University of Michigan campus has created a welcoming space for all.
This year, EnspiRED had their annual Art Experience which is a showcase for artists of all types such as: singing, dancing, photography, painting, spoken word, rap, any many other art forms. The Art Experience gives students an opportunity to express themselves, despite having to deal with the stresses of school. It is a safe space for first time performers and experienced performers, to show their peers the talent that they have been working hard for.
Overall, EnspiRED’s goal is to create a familial community for everyone. Even if one does not have an exact artistic talent, EnspiRED encourage others to support their peers, and find ways to collaborate across the lines.
