Artists have created outfits from everything from computer keyboards and teabags to string licorice and bubble wrap. Artists exhibiting work in the show are supported by an enthusiastic team of volunteers, including hair and makeup stylists, lighting and sound experts and a front-of-house crew. The fun includes door prizes, a silent auction, music and videos.
