“Australian Wearable Art Festival”

Calling all artists, designers, crafters and creatives – next year’s Festival expands prizes, categories and creative opportunities

Australian Wearable Art Festival, a home-grown success story, will again launch on the Sunshine Coast in just three short weeks when 38 national and international wearable art pieces will come alive on the Festival’s 27-metre catwalk, drawing artists, designers and admirers from around the globe.

As the Australian Wearable Art Festival’s 39 national and international entrants prepare their artworks to wow festival audiences, this year’s two esteemed judges, QAGOMA Assistant Curator of International Art Dr Jacinta Giles and internationally renowned floral and wearable artist Julia Rose, are keen to see this unique art platform elevated.

Tickets are now on sale and the call for 2024 artist entries is now open, with designers limited only by their own creativity to transform unlikely everyday materials into spectacular works of art to be worn on the Festival’s signature 27-metre runway.
