Mike McCready Walks the Runway at the Art for All Ball

Pearl Jam’s guitarist is stepping onto the Art for All Ball 2025 runway to back Path with Art and their mission to heal through creativity.

Mike McCready just keeps switching it up. The Pearl Jam co-founder and lead guitar shredder is about to trade the stage lights for runway lights on December 6th at the Art for All Ball 2025, the annual event thrown by Path with Art to support their mission of healing through artistic expression.

A dude who knows what art can do

McCready’s been riding with Path with Art for years. This isn’t some casual “yeah sure” kind of support — he’s seen with his own eyes how art can pull people through tough times. Back during Pearl Jam’s Home Shows in Seattle, Path with Art artists created special posters for the band.

Two of those pieces are still hanging in his house — a daily reminder of how deep that connection runs.

From shredding riffs to strutting the runway

At the Art for All Ball 2025, Mike’s gonna be one of seven models showing off one-of-a-kind, handmade fits created by artists in the program.  It’s a powerful move: letting the art literally speak through what he wears, giving visibility to people who are finding their way through creativity.
