What do Art and Fashion have in common?  Just about everything. Art and Fashion have always been pretty good bedfellows. Looking back at the history of both reveals connections and influencing movements in both directions. Art trends affect Fashion trends and vice versa The Wearable Art Show & Gala celebrates this beautiful marriage. 

We are calling for artists, as in other years, to make wearable art pieces in several different categories.  The only constraint is that submitted wearable works of art HAVE TO BE WEARABLE. This is an opportunity for artists to unbridle their imagination and explore materials and processes not normally used in the construction of clothing, or art for that matter.

Prizes to win for each wearable art category:

First Prize: “Best in Show” A complimentary invitation to the 2026 Emma International Collaboration at Ness Creek sponsored by the EMMA International Collaboration.

Cash prizes for each Category: 1st $500, 2nd $300 sponsored by the JackMillikin Centre.
