Fly-Away: Wearable Art & Runway Fashion Show 2024

The Valley Arts Alliance is proud to host their 18th annual VAA Wearable Art & Runway Fashion Show at the Palmer Depot on Saturday, February 17, 2024. Again, this year we will present two identical performances—a matinee at 3pm and an evening performance at 7pm.
Wearable Art refers to hand crafted and one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork designed to be worn by the human body as an artistic expression. Using their knowledge of color, fabric and non-traditional materials, artists create unique, wearable garments which they (or their models) wear while parading down an authentic “fashion runway”, accompanied by narration and music.
For our 18th year we’re using the theme “Fly-Away” for staging the show, and we’re encouraging artists to use the same theme for their creative inspiration. To view exciting scenes from years past, visit our Wearable Art archives pages at www.valleyartsalliance.com/archives.
Due to the overwhelming success of this event, we must limit entries to the first 25, so we urge you to submit your completed application/registration form early. Please complete a separate form for each entry! The deadline is Friday, February 9, 2024. Visit www.valleyartsalliance.com and click “register as an artist for this event” button.
Tickets will be on sale after January 8th, 2024. The ticket price is $15 per person for each performance. For the 3pm Matinee ONLY, children 12 years old and under will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult. Tickets will be available in Palmer at Fireside Books and Non-Essentials; and in Wasilla at My House / Gathering Grounds Café. We expect both shows to sell out, so please purchase your tickets early.
The 18th annual Valley Arts Alliance Wearable Art & Runway Fashion Show will be an exquisite evening of art and entertainment, in what has become a well-loved winter tradition in our Valley. Don’t miss this opportunity to support the arts in the Valley!
