World of WearableArt Show

20 Sep – 08 Oct  |  TSB Arena, Wellington

 

“We don’t get spectacle often in New Zealand. Real, huge, fall-in-love-with-it spectacle…it’s rare to see something where the intent is to ‘wow’ you. The World of WearableArt Show does that.”

Sam Brooks, The Spinoff.

 

The WOW Show is a world-class theatrical extravaganza. Each Spring, this not-to-be missed event in Wellington is experienced by an audience of over 60,000.

Every night the stage comes alive with incredible works of wearable art, dancers, aerialists, captivating music, and moments that will take your breath away. At the heart of WOW is the world’s leading wearable art competition for designers from across the world working in radical and innovative ways in the mediums of fashion, art, design and costume.

This year we are taking you on a journey into a futuristic world. Don’t miss out on tickets to BEYOND, the 2023 WOW Show.
