Hoke, named a 2011 Westword Mastermind, will draw whimsical fashion sketches of what people are wearing that evening. Roces, a designer regularly featured at the Fashion Denver boutique, will create a piece of fashion/art in which guests at the event will contribute by selecting swatches of fabric and other accouterments to add to the piece.

These interactive design experiences perfectly complement the food, music, art and fun that is Sparkopolis.
