Adorn Yourself in Wearable Art

Art can be collected, displayed, donated, gifted, and even worn! That’s right, wearable art is in the spotlight today.

Of course, you probably immediately think of jewelry, a popular category at art festivals, including Panoply Arts Festival and Monte Sano Art Festival. But there is much more art that you can wear.

Let’s take a look, and maybe you’ll discover what your next art purchase will be.

Wearable Art Accessories

When it comes to adorning yourself with art, accessories will fit most easily into your life… and with the biggest impact. Prices can vary based on the material used and the artist’s skill and technique, but there will be something for every budget. Materials might include ceramics, beads, feathers, paint, dye, and even found objects.

From metals and precious stones to leather and glass, art as an accessory is a treat!

Art as Fashion

When wearable art moves past simple adornment, you have outright fashion. And if avant-garde fashion is out of your budget, that’s ok. Art festival artists will have an array of dyed, felted, knitted, crocheted, quilted, or laced fashion ready on the hanger for you to take home.

A few well-curated art pieces can transform your wardrobe and your attitude!
