Led by Unique Design, a professional organisation producing stage costumes for local productions, the Emerging Artist Mentorship Programme: Wearable Art strand brings together eight costume design graduates to challenge conventional perceptions of costume design and create one-of-a-kind wearable art pieces inspired by classic fairy tales.
The Emerging Artist Mentorship Programme is a new initiative launched by Standard Chartered Arts in the Park to support young artists and help a new generation of creative talent develop confidence, endurance and adaptability. The programme is split into three strands: Stained Glass, Wearable Art and Theatre. Led by local professional artists, the programme provides learning, professional development and career opportunities for young artists to help them establish their careers.
