“Art that Walks”
It’s a worldwide phenomenon and the Great Barrier Reef Festival Wearable Art Parade is a popular and fun event with both students and adults. Participants of all ages love this unique art form and create colourful and innovative wearable pieces from unlikely materials.
Anything can be used – recycled objects, plastic, rope, wire, paper or repurposed material – or just about anything your imagination dreams of can be transformed into dramatic outfits as part of the competition. There really is no limit to what you can create and the materials you can use to make it.
Although there is no theme to restrict artists creativity, we would love to see some Great Barrier Reef inspired creations. There is also a category “Accessorize” – for artists who wish to create a collection of accessories e.g. a hat, bag and jewellery – modelled on black clothing.
Sponsored by Wilmar Sugar, the competition and fashion parade are one of the highlights of the festival for many aspiring young fashion designers, as well as the hundreds of people who turn out to support the event. And there are great cash prizes to be won… are you up to the challenge ???
