Postponed from April, Thrift Studio Returns in August
Fans of Thrift Studio, the Dwell with Dignity fundraiser featuring discounted prices for luxury home furnishings and works from area artists, have had to wait a bit longer than usual this year.
The pandemic postponed the pop-up shop, initially scheduled for April. Still, organizers are now ready to proceed Aug. 28 to Sept. 26 at The International on Turtle Creek, a 12,000-square foot space that is social distancing-friendly.
“We are thrilled to finally open our doors to showcase the incredible work of our interior designers and artists while raising necessary funds,” Dwell with Dignity executive director Ashley Sharp said. “Thrift Studio provides one-third of the operating revenue that allows Dwell with Dignity to change lives through design by bringing good design to those who can afford it the least.”
The nonprofit provides furniture, bedding, kitchen supplies, art, professional interior styling, food in the pantry, and a first night’s meal to low-income families who obtain new permanent housing.
