Local crochet artist Gina Gallina hosts ‘WowZa’ Ball at Mount Sequoyah

Gina Gallina is a crochet artist who has been creating in the Northwest Arkansas area for over ten years. Gallina will be hosting the ‘WowZa Ball’ at Mount Sequoyah on Feb. 10, a celebration of the international “world of wearable art” fashion and art phenomenon.

The world of wearable art invites artists to use any kind of material- and that’s ANYTHING- to create a piece of clothing to wear. The World of Wearable Art is a design competition and show based in New Zealand that celebrates this form of expression. The competition has received global recognition for its uniqueness, inspiring artists like Gina Gallina to create events like the WowZa Ball.
