The Eileen Fisher Renew Chop Challenge is an annual collaborative event to engage our community in the transformation of textile waste. Eileen Fisher makes clothing to last from beautiful materials that retain value even when they can no longer be worn. Textile waste is a huge environmental burden, but with a little creativity we can lighten the load on our planet.  Help us transform damaged Eileen Fisher clothes into one-of-a-kind works of art, jewelry and home goods. Your works will be auctioned at Columbia City Gallery, raising much needed funds for this vital community art space.

Columbia City Gallery is operated by SEEDArts, a local nonprofit that believes in the power of art in building community. Your finished work will be donated to directly support this important arts resource in our community auction event at the Columbia City Gallery. We appreciate your generous support of this important community space.
