Paper on SkinTM

A biennial wearable art award requiring artists to create a wearable garment made from at least 80% paper.

First held in 2012, Paper on SkinTM draws on the papermaking heritage of the North-West coast of Tasmania and has since grown to become an international event. Eleven countries are represented among the 2024 finalists, all of whom demonstrate a visionary approach to the creative challenge.

The exhibition will showcase the garments presented on the gala event held on Saturday 21 September.
