WAVE 2022
What is WAVE?
WAVE (Wearable Arts Vision in Education) is a major annual event in Shearwater's performing arts calendar, showcasing wearable artworks entered by designers and students from around Australia, in a highly professional, choreographed production that encompasses design, music, dance, drama and technology. 2022 will mark the 22nd year of Wearable Arts at Shearwater.
Much more than mere fashion, wearable artworks are manifestations of the maker's inner world of imagination. They can be sewn, constructed, glued, painted, collaged, riveted, woven and knitted. They can be made from metals, recycled found objects, silk, rubber, natural fibres, industrial offcuts or whatever substance can be sculptured, coaxed, charmed and, if required, bent by the will of the artist.
Garments entered in the competition must be relevant to one of the show's five sections and will be judged by a panel of independent experts.
