Wearable Arts Acquisition Awards
The Wearable Arts Awards are the most eagerly anticipated
community arts events in Alice Springs. The Araluen stage comes
to life with innovative and magical creations from talented local
artists, combined with music, lighting and visual effects. There
are great sponsored prizes judged by a panel as well as People’s
Choice Awards. Due to the fact that the shows are always a sell out,
two adult shows and one youth presentation are programmed for
2008.
