WHAT IS WRIGHT
HOUSE OF FASHION?
Wright House of Fashion is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization advancing equity, economic mobility, and environmental justice through community-based cultural infrastructure. While rooted in fashion and design, Wright House operates at the intersection of narrative change, workforce access, and systems transformation—using creative industries as an entry point for youth leadership, racial justice, and sustainable economic participation.
The organization’s work aligns with a focus on equity, systems change, and innovative community-driven solutions, particularly through its emphasis on reframing harmful cultural narratives, expanding access to creative economies for historically excluded communities, and addressing environmental harm within extractive fashion systems. As a locally grounded model with national relevance, Wright House is positioned to contribute to broader field-level conversations around justice, culture, and economic inclusion.
WE BELIEVE IN
Fostering Inclusivity
WHF creates an inclusive and welcoming environment where individuals from various backgrounds, cultures, and experiences feel valued and supported. This inclusivity promotes diversity, which is crucial for a richer, more well- rounded educational experience.
Breaking Down Barriers
We take pride in being a community dedicated to diversity and creativity that is helping to break down social, economic, and systemic barriers. By offering our access, it levels the playing field and allows individuals to overcome obstacles that may have held them back in the past.
Social Responsibility
Building a diverse art educational community is an essential step in addressing social and equity issues. It reflects our commitment to social responsibility by actively working to mitigate disparities and ensure equal opportunities for all.
Innovation & Creativity
We feel diversity leads to increased creativity and innovation. When people from different backgrounds come together, they bring fresh ideas, viewpoints, and approaches to problem-solving, which can lead to groundbreaking discoveries and creative works.
Unlocking Hidden Potential
We do this by providing a supportive community, where our students can unlock their potential and contribute their unique perspectives and skills to the creative field.
Youth Support
Youth in every community need spaces where they can show up authentically. Liberation spaces improve social, cultural, and educational opportunities for young diverse fashion artists. When arts education is underfunded and overlooked, it directly impacts the community. When the community is affected negatively, everyone loses. We are stepping up to make real change and add to the creative community.
