This fun and funky adult event is not a fashion show in the traditional sense - it's an artistic exploration of all types of body adornment - blending burlesque sex appeal, clever design, breathtaking performance art, vaudeville humour and sheer spectacle.
The Wearable Art Gala features creative experimentation with hair, jewelry, accessories and original one-of-a-kind wearables using everything from computer keyboards and teabags to string licorice and bubble wrap.

G74 Music and Media Arts Festival
Date: Friday July 30 (10PM - 2AM)
Place: Kelowna Community Theatre
Tickets $15 at the door or free with purchase of Wearable Art Gala ticket
Following the Wearable Art Gala the Kelowna Community Theatre will be transformed into a multi-stage nightclub experience with interactive media-based visual art (audio, video, 3D, lights, performance) and musical guest DJs. Media artists Chris Bose and Tim Fehr (spellcastproductions.com) set the stage with audio, video and performance designed for interaction.
DJs literally lift audiences off their feet with electronic music perfect for mingling, art and dancing. DJ elis Dye opens the evening with a high energy mix of styles, JGirl & Manousos (FlyDj's) journey through the laid-back grooves of Deep House, while guest DJ Timothy Wisdom unifies, intensifies, uplifts and penetrates the senses.
