Art & Tartan wearable art awards back5 Sept, 2022
With a great number of creations entered in the cancelled 2020 show and new ones this year, together with a record number of entries in the ever-popular children’s mask section, the show promises to be a bumper event. This year’s artistic director is Waipu’s own Debi Walters Brown. Debi has a wealth of experience in all aspects of the performing arts, both as teacher, performer and model. She is well known for organising the Classics at the Cove annual musical event at the family farm in Cove Road. Debi promises the much-loved spine-tingling mix of kapa haka and the Scottish pipes together with a host of performers, music, dance and special effects. There’s also been an evolution to the show. During the past three years Art & Tartan+ has seen a brand refresh and from 2023 the scope of the contest will be widened to encompass not only the traditional Scottish heritage of Waipu but all the diverse cultures of Aotearoa. In acknowledgement of the continuing presence of Covid in the community audience numbers are limited this year. There will be three shows: Friday October 14 at 7.30pm, Saturday October 15 at 2pm, and the glittering Awards Night at 7.30pm. Buy tickets online at trybooking.co.nz/LFZ or from the front desk of the Waipu Museum. |
