In 2017, Madison Reading Project launched Read(y) to Wear, a paper inspired benefit fashion show which brings together lovers of reading and fashion to support the literacy needs of kids, families and educators. 

This year's show will be held at the incredible Majestic Theatre on May 12, 2022.

​

How it works:

​

• Artist, corporate, nonprofit, and student teams are allowed two (2) designs in the show.​
   

• Models take a turn on the catwalk and designs are voted on by a panel of local celebrity judges. Teams compete for the title of Madison Reading Project's  Read(y) to Wear Design Team and the best Use of Paper.​
   

• In addition to the fashion show, attendees can mingle and enjoy fun activities before the models walk including a raffle, live music, and cash bar.

​

Funds raised at Read(y) to Wear support the MRP program fund, which provides much needed staff, books and supplies that allow us to provide high quality services. 

​

In accordance with the Majestic's updated COVID policy, masks are optional at Read(y) to Wear. Please stay home if you are feeling unwell, and be respectful of other guests. If you do choose to wear a mask, a fabulous, decorated, paper mask will fit right in at our show!
