Costume Network

About Us

Costumes are everywhere, in parades and parties, on stages and screens. And yet, there was never one place that brought it all together. So we built Costume Network, a home for everyone who lives, works, and creates through costume. For the communities who gather, the artists who elevate, and the dreamers who dare to dress up and stand out. We celebrate the joy of creativity, the mastery of craft, and the power of community. This is costume culture, and it finally has a home.

Our Mission

We live to spotlight talent, champion self-expression, and support the people who make costumed experiences unforgettable. As a Public Benefit Corporation, our mission is to connect artists, performers, producers, and creative communities with audiences, collaborators, and opportunities, building a thriving, mutually supportive ecosystem that expands the joyful world of costume culture.

Our Values

Costume Network is more than a platform. It’s a movement. We believe in creativity, collaboration, and building a vibrant, interconnected world around costume culture. These values guide everything we do:

Create

We help makers, performers, and producers bring their ideas to life by offering support, solutions, and community to realize their vision.

Participate

We promote experiences and events, and champion the people who make them by inspiring the people to engage with the places.

Celebrate

We shine a spotlight on costume culture in all its forms by showcasing artists, honoring traditions, and elevating the joy of creative expression.

Navigate

We make it easier to find the right people, services, and inspiration. Whether you're looking to hire talent, join a community, or start something new.

Activate

We amplify our Members through social media, editorial features, and community highlights — helping creative professionals get seen, get hired, and grow. 

Integrate

We made the only centralized place where makers, performers, and producers can showcase their work, connect with each other and the public.

Our Team

Costume Network was founded by costume artists, event producers, and community builders. We’re powered by the same people we serve. Meet the team and advisors helping to build this home for costume culture, together.
