showcase their creativity & showmanship.
Yes
to the ethos of Raglan as a zero waste leader. What gives you the greatest joy about the event?
Raglan is known for being a surf town, but there are also so many creative people so one of the joys of Art to Wear is seeing the community engaged in something totally unique - both entrants and spectators. You don’t have to be a professional artist to participate. It is also of course amazing to be wowed by the creativity and effort people put into their designs.
What do you say to those in the community considering entering for the first time? Raglan Art to Wear show and all involved provide a supportive and encouraging social experience for participants their whānau and friends. We introduced in 2018 a mystery section which is a excellent option for those wishing to have a selection of materials to get the creative juices flowing, or for first time entrants. This is available in 2021 as the “it’s in the bag" section.
What have been the challenging aspects? How are you affected by the pandemic?
A lot of us get hung up on ...Should I enter?
This is a volunteer run event so the challenging aspects of Art to Wear are behind the scenes. We start slowly meeting about 1 year before the event date and then ramp up meetings as we get closer. Everyone volunteers out of love for the event - fitting the time in amongst their other responsibilities. We need to find sponsors and apply for funding, plan the production, and let people know about the event among other tasks. It can be a bit hectic a month before showtime since we never know if people will make and enter! But it always seems to work out.
I haven’t got the creativity, the materials or the time Honestly once you stop questioning yourself and start making you will love the process of creating a outfit for Raglan art to Wear . ANY DOUBTS …. phone or email Jean ; cell 027 2046820 jean @cbarn.co.nz What can we look forward to in this years coming event ? Always a surprise!
