A brand new exhibition from the World of WearableArt opens on the
21st November at Auckland War Memorial Museum prior to embarking on a
worldwide tour.The exhibition features a showcase of WOW garments,
selected from previous year’s winners, and offers a behind the scenes
look at the garments, the artists and their experiences, as well as
seeing how the competition and awards show comes together.
This is the first chance for New Zealanders to see the exhibition before it heads offshore.
The exhibition is the result of support from the Government’s Major
Events Development Fund, which aids the development of three
international touring exhibitions; an international education programme
which includes opportunities for international design students to enter
the competition and attracts students to study in New Zealand; as well
as opportunities for international business representatives to be hosted
at the Awards Show in Wellington and at the touring exhibitions
worldwide.
Description: Wellington Harbour“Celebrating the World of WearableArt
event on a global stage and presenting a taste of the WOW experience
around the world is the realisation of a dream come true. We are excited
to be able to share the creativity and inspiration that WOW generates,”
says WOW Founder Dame Suzie Moncrieff.
Auckland War Memorial Museum Director Roy Clare adds, “Aucklanders
will share delight that our city has the privilege to host this
fantastic exhibition before it heads overseas. WOW is a vibrant and
creative organisation that has won international respect for innovation
and flair; as a museum we are excited to be able to work with them once
again and to continue to strengthen our positive partnership, with its
many echoes in our collections.”
