We started the Costume Industry Coalition in June to advocate for the survival of the custom costume community during this crisis. The CIC’s 55 Members employ over 500 costume artisans and experts; our goal is to make sure they all have an artistic home to which to return when this is all over.

We have been overwhelmed by the support we have received from so many, not only in the form of donations, but in the constant encouragement and amplification of our cause. We are being recognized not only as a valuable part of the entertainment industry, but as a unique ecosystem unlike any other.

One of our greatest supporters has been Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, one of the nation’s leading industry-based HIV/AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. From the beginning of the pandemic, they have mobilized and raised millions of dollars to help thousands in the entertainment industry—including the CIC. We are proud to call them a partner, and encourage you to support them in any way you can.

Throughout 2021, the CIC will continue our fight for survival, while continuing to pull back the curtain on the awe-inspiring talent and craftsmanship that make up the custom costume industry. From concept to care, we are the costume experts involved in every aspect of bringing costumes to the stage, screen, and beyond. We encourage you to invite your friends and family to stand in support of the CIC and our incredible community in any way they can.
