Artistic innovation with sustainable, wearable art

AT a time when global fashion is increasingly dominated by mass production, the Australian Wearable Art Festival (AWAF) is asking audiences to slow down, rethink what they wear, and fall back in love with creativity.

Now entering its sixth year, the Sunshine Coast event has evolved from a grassroots creative experiment into Australia’s premier wearable art festival – helping put the region on the map as an unexpected leader in artistic innovation, sustainability and contemporary culture.

Check it out on Saturday July 11 at 1pm and 7pm Novotel Convention Centre. Tickets and details www.australianwearableart.com.au
