Winner of the 2009 Carnivale face painting section Maria Mormile... she painted herself!
Wearable art will take centre stage at the 2010 Australian Body Art Carnivale, giving textile artists and designers the opportunity to have their creations grace the catwalk – and take home $2000 in cash and prizes.
Event Manager Danielle Taylor says the Wearable Art competition presents a great opportunity for artists and designers of all ages and levels of experience to express themselves.
“And with such generous prizes up for grabs for the winning Wearable Art design, it’s worth getting creative”, she says.
Entrants can either create their design independently, or team up with others to create a work of Wearable Art.
Garments must be created from reused or secondhand materials. Anything from recycled textiles to household goods to industrial or other discarded items – whatever designers can think of, provided it has had a “life” before. Egg cartons, rubber gloves, computer parts, old curtains … let your imagination run wild.
“The theme for the 2010 competition is FANTASY and registrations are now open, so we’re encouraging people to download entry forms from www.australianbodyart.com.au and enter now for the 2010 Wearable Art competition,” Danielle says.
All entrants will have their Wearable Art creations paraded on the catwalk in a fashion parade on Sunday 16 May as part of the Australian Body Art Carnivale celebrations in Eumundi.
