Is it art? Is it wearable? Is it a transformation? If you have an inkling to create something out of repurposed materials, then Motueka’s Upcycled Fashion Show is right up your alley.
Presented by Motueka Arts Council and Crafty Tarts, and with help from one of our Creative Communities Grants, entries for this fashion show are now open.
You’re invited to create a costume from repurposed materials in this first-of-its-kind Motueka event.
There are three categories to enter. Fantastical, like you may see in the World of WearableArt Show, Street Wear which are those garments you can wear every day, or Accessories like hats, bags and shoes.
You can model your creation yourself or have it modelled by students from Motueka High School.
Entries for the show close Sunday 17 May. Register here.(external link)
The big event hits the stage at the Motueka Memorial Hall at 7.00 pm on Saturday 27 June. Tickets are on sale from 17 May and are available through the Motueka Arts Council.
More information can be found on their website, or you can contact the co-ordinator, Dani Louis, at [email protected].
...And if your group is working to increase participation in community arts initiatives, you may be eligible for a Creative Communities Grant.
Creative New Zealand fully funds the grants, and we here at Tasman District Council administer them locally. You can find(external link) more information here(external link) – the next funding round closes 10 July.
