Seeking to motivate students for her "Art of Couture" class, Pat Willcox sought to mimic aspects of one hit TV show and created "Project Runway: Beaufort Style."

And last year it proved to not only be a great success with students but with a community that was eager to see the designs, so this year they're turning up the volume and showing off in a bigger space. 

The Island Packet has a nice write-up about this year's forthcoming event, as does The Island News.

The designs will be show on Friday, September 24, at 7:30 p.m. the USCB Performing Arts Center in downtown Beaufort. $5 for students, $10 seniors/military, and $15 for adults.

Reserve tickets by calling (843) 521-4145.

Ticket sales will benefit Beaufort Children's Theater. 

The classes are taught at Coastal Art Supply.
