Paper on Skin™ celebrates the ingenuity and wonder of wearable paper art.
Designers from around the world embrace the challenge of creating catwalk-ready garments made from at least 80% paper.
The festival includes a theatrical gala, showcase, workshops, exhibitions and film.
The Paper on Skin™ gala and award evening is one of Australia's premier wearable art events, featuring stunning visuals and an original soundtrack by 'Alluvium.'
A second show - 'Up-Close Showcase at Basalt' - has been announced for 2026 and will take place the day after the awards gala at the Basalt Restaurant located at The Cove Tasmania.
The event will commence with a special Welcome to Country, dance performance and a shared cultural experience. The welcome will be led by local palawa artist and dancer, Karen Smart and the Treenoner Dance Mob.
A 5-week exhibition will follow at the Devonport Regional Gallery.
The international workshop series brings tutor Erica Spitzer Rasmussen to Tasmania to conduct two specialty workshops.
Paper on Skin major partner - Devonport City Council
Paper on Skin partners - North West Support Services and The Cove Tasmania
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government, through the Festivals Australia program.
