Youth Wearable Art Show Applications Due

The Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council (KAAHC) began the Wearable Art Show in 1986. It has since become one of Ketchikan’s favorite events, copied in communities across Alaska and in Washington. We are very excited to be establishing the first Youth Wearable Art Show specially designed to showcase our talented Youth Artists! Art work should be created from scratch. We encourage you to be expressive with this art form!
