Port Townsend Wearable Art Show entry window open

PORT TOWNSEND — Entries are now open until midnight Dec. 15 for the 10th anniversary Port Townsend Wearable Art Show, a celebration of art in motion on the human body.

The event will offer both a matinee and an evening performance at Fort Worden State Park’s McCurdy Pavilion on May 9. It showcases art made of recycled objects, fine fabrics, books, movie-popcorn bags, colored twine and the many other materials artists use to create a piece.

Prizes after the event include $2,500 for best in show, $1,000 for second place, $500 for third place, $500 for people’s choice and $250 for best student art.
