Each year, the Trashion Show relies on the wisdom of a team of judges to evaluate the designs. We'd like to thank our 2026 Judges for their time and discerning eyes.
Lisa Marshall brought her vision of a recycled fashion show to the Confluence Gallery after studying apparel design in Seattle. She has taught sewing classes, costumed shows at the Merc playhouse, and started the sweatshop studio at Twisp Works. She loves helping continue the Trashion vision and is working on creating a kids Trashion show. For more information, contact Lisa Directly.
Robin Doggett has been an artist and designer that's worked in print design for many years and is the proprietor of True North Letterpress in Twisp. She has a degree in Visual Communication and is the brand-new ED of Confluence Gallery.
Patrick Broadgate came of Age in the 90's, with the west coast surf, skate, and hip-hop culture, which exposed him to the world of graphic design. This passion led him on a journey over the last 20 years helping small businesses, striving artists, and global brands connect to their audiences through art and design.
Celia Gottlieb's love of clothing and design was lovingly passed down to her by my grandmother, a true fashionista who taught her to never shy away from color or texture — and that there is no such thing as being overdressed. She has no formal training, just a deep obsession with vintage runway videos, and a lifelong appreciation for construction and creativity. Fabric and design have always felt like home to her, and she couldn't be more thrilled to celebrate the artistry and imagination on display at this Trashion Show.
Performer, producer, director, choreographer, and arts advocate Missi Smith has been involved in the performing arts throughout her life. For the past 15 years, she has contributed both onstage and behind the scenes at The Merc Playhouse. She currently serves on the board of directors for Methow Arts and is a member of the play selection committee at The Merc Playhouse.
Without our designers, there is no Trashion Show. We want to thank each designer for the time and effort they put into making this show the remarkable experience it is every year. Thank you!

We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “Food for Thought” at The Confluence. The show will run August 25 - October 3. The Call is open May 1 - June 17.
Food is not only a daily necessity, but it also nourishes our bodies and speaks to our personal identities, traditions, and values. Across cultures and histories, food has served as a powerful symbol—such as in classical still lifes or Pop Art movements like Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup cans—and continues to spark conversation today. Food is also inherently political: how it’s grown, sourced, and consumed invites deeper questions about sustainability, labor, and equity. This exhibition seeks to bring together a diverse range of artworks that explore the many roles food plays in our lives. Submitted artworks may be 2D or 3D, including painting, drawing, mixed media, photography, ceramics, fiber, and sculpture.
Find the call details on our website!
Tonight, tonight, tonight!!!
