ARTISTS and MODELS AGES 14 to 20

While young artists and models are welcome to participate in the Wearable Art Show, they must be mature enough to be backstage without a parent/guardian. There will not be constant adult supervision backstage, and very limited capacity. Youth artists and models are not permitted in the bar area without a parent or legal guardian.
Artists and models ages 13 and younger will not perform in the February event, instead they will perform in the Youth Wearable Art Show on March 28th, 2026.
Artists between the ages of 14 and 18 may perform in both the February Wearable Art Show and in the Youth Wearable Art Show in March.

Yes
I am over 18
I have no idea who "Chappell Roan" is....

Parental/Guardian Permission for Artists between the ages of 14 and 18 to participate

I agree to allow my child to participate in the performances if invited
I am still over 18
...(Is Chappell Roan a real person? how far out of touch am I...?)
I looked up Chappell Roan last year! So I'm not THAT old.....?

Model(s) Information

There is a maximum number of 6 models for each piece. If you have multiple models and you are NOT the contact, please list the person who will contact the other models with info. All models must be 14 years old or older.

To minimize crowding backstage, and to adhere to capacity regulations of the venue, we will provide backstage passes for models and any artists who need to assist their models with intricate and/or cumbersome pieces only. We will not provide additional passes. Models helping Models, Artists helping Artists makes the world go 'round!

Each returning Individual Artist may submit up to two entries. Entries can include up to six models. If this is your first ADULT Wearable Art Show you are invite to submit only 1 entry (which may have multiple models).

How many entries are you submitting? (You may only submit up to 2 entries.)

I am submitting 1 entry
I am submitting 2 entires

Are you using the same model(s) for both pieces?

Will your model(s) need your assisance?

If your entry has more than one model, or you are submit two pieces, is there anything we need to know for placement of this piece in the lineup?

Description of your Wearable Art piece

Title of your Wearable Art Piece (Required)

Describe your piece for the people putting together the lineup. Please include colors, mood, shapes, the "story line", and other descriptive aspects so we can avoid putting similar pieces next to each other. (Required)

Describe the materials used to create your piece. This information will be included in the program. (Required)

What do you want the emcee to say to introduce your piece? For example, how is the theme relevant to your piece, how did your materials inspire you, what is the inspiration for your piece? (Required)

Will your piece fit through a door?

Yes
Not once it is assembled
No - I have no idea how I am going to get it in the building I might have to rethink my plan.

You must submit 3 images of your piece. The line up committee will make determinations based on the images you submit. Images can be a collage of ideas, a storyboard, a color palette, drawings, pictures of partially finished pieces, or ideally, images of the finished piece. The more complete you can be showing colors, materials, and how big the piece is - the better for creating a powerful line up for the audience's experience of your piece.

Use jpegs, jps, or pngs only. The system cannot accept any single image over 2GB.

You must submit your music of 2 minutes or less here or via thumb drive or e-mail to the Arts and Humanities Council office. You must own the music and it must be in an MP3 or MP4 format. The entirety of your music must not exceed 2 minutes.

If multiple artists choose the same music, the first artist who turned in their application will be given priority for use, all others will need to find different music. The final decision about music selection and lineup will be made by the Wearable Art Show Committee.

You are not required to upload your music at this time, you may bring a thumb drive to the KAAHC instead. But you must provide composer (band) and title of your music choice. Remember, whoever gets the music to us first will be the one that gets to use that music.

Then, if the stars have aligned, and you are pure of heart (and have eaten all of your chocolate) you should be able to move forward with your life.
