Northeast Minneapolis'  artist and entrepreneur (and Minnesota Rollergirl) Rebecca Yaker "Sock Monkey" dress from the Walker Center's "Un-Prom: Not Your Mama's Formal,"  a prom inspired fashion show presented by Walker Art Center Teen Arts Council (WACTAC) and Anna Lee of Ruby3, producer of Voltage: Fashion Amplified. As a part of the Walker's OPEN-ENDED (the art of engagement) exhibition, WACTAC is taking prom by the heels and turning it on its tiara.

The Un-Prom will cut loose from the stuffy "suit and tie, cupcake dress" formal wear by asking seven Minneapolis designers to create garments that step out of the standard garb and envision prom as extension of the arts.
