A 40-day celebration of the arts in Fulton County is set to begin Monday.

A mini fashion show will serve as the kickoff for fashion-forward events from Monday to Oct. 28 throughout northern and southern Fulton, according to a county news release. The events will highlight the county’s robust resources in fashion, art, culture and education.

The 9 a.m. kickoff show at Fulton’s Central Library, 1 Margaret Mitchell Square, in downtown Atlanta. The show will feature Billi Arnett of Clark Atlanta University’s arts program and Atlanta Fashion Week. The program will then be followed by a student panel.

Along with CAU, the county government is partnering with Atlanta Public Schools, Fulton County Schools and county libraries along with the cities of Atlanta and Alpharetta.

“Residents will be able to connect with fashion industry experts who can demonstrate first-hand the benefits of fashion, art and education,” wrote Robb Pitts, county commission chair, in the news release.
