The third annual WACO (Where Art Can Occur) Wearable Art Gala was held June 1 and Emmy Award winning actress and comedienne Tiffany Haddish served as the evening’s host, to celebrate art and raise funds for the nonprofit WACO Theater Center. For 2019 the theme, “A Journey to the Pride Lands” reigned supreme as Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and more highlighted the eloquence of African tradition in their selection of apparel.
