Celebrate with Montana WOW® in Wellington

Vibrant colours, cutting-edge designs, transporting music and visual effects – the Montana World of WearableArt™ Awards Show is one of Wellington’s most extraordinary events. WOW® takes art off the wall and onto the moving body™ and enables works of art to perform on stage in the ultimate arts competition. InterContinental Wellington

This year, WOW® celebrates a very special occasion – its 20th show! General tickets for the 2008 Show go on sale from 15 March, so make sure you confirm your seat at this incredible event. Book tickets at www.worldofwearableart.com.

The WOW® story is one of true kiwi ingenuity. From humble beginnings in Nelson, the Montana World of WearableArt™ Awards Show has grown to where it is today, an internationally-acclaimed event that brings sellout audiences of 35,000 to the TSB Bank Arena on Wellington’s waterfront.

Visit Wellington between 25 September and 5 October, and see this event that is truly like no other. Artists from New Zealand and around the world enter creative garments that amaze, delight and enthrall. Words don’t do justice to WOW®, you really have to see it first-hand!Floriditas

Wellington’s creative spirit also comes out in full force for WOW®. The city gets all dressed up, with street banners, billboards and ad shells. Shop windows are colourfully adorned for the annual WOW® Retail Competition, and cafes bustle with WOW®-goers morning, noon and night. Why not pop in to Floriditas, at the heart of Cuba Street? This stylish café is open 7 days from 7am to 10pm, and its dishes are based around fresh seasonal produce.

During the day, check out Wellington’s designer fashion boutiques – including Starfish, Voon, Robyn Mathieson and Andrea Moore. Stroll through the Lambton BATSquarter, which tempts with local and international designer fashion, while the Cuba quarter offers a funky, bohemian charm.

Continue your creative Wellington experience - see a show at BATS Theatre. BATS Theatre is an intimate professional venue dedicated to supporting and developing new New Zealand performance work, practitioners and audiences. Presenting more new New Zealand theatre works than any other venue in the world, BATS has been the place to see tomorrow’s big names today since 1989.
