The Southwest Costumers Guild is a loose social organization of persons interested in all facets of historical, cultural, science fiction, fantasy, and humor costume. Members are often seen on stage and behind the scenes at Science Fiction Convention masquerades. SWCG is Arizona's chapter of the The International Costume Guild. Generally, the Southwest Costumers Guild meets on the last Sunday of each month at a different member's home in the greater Phoenix area. This rule of thumb may be changed to avoid conflict with other events.
Guild business is followed by a demonstration or presentation by a guild member or an invited guest.
Sometimes we cooperate on a costume project. Sometimes we just party. Special SWCG gatherings are sometimes held at science fiction conventions, renaissance faires, and other public events. Email Randall for directions to meetings and events. Here are some upcoming guild meetings and other events with a costuming focus.
