Express yourself by creating a fabulous bra using whatever theme and/or materials you like into an awe-inspiring work of art. Use humor, horror or hallucinations to choose a theme or style that can win a first place prize and raise funds for women and girls in Santa Cruz County. Past entries have been created from a wide variety of materials ranging from duct tape to concrete.
Artists, wanna-be artists and anyone else who cares to can participate in this unique and popular event, which benefits the women of Santa Cruz County through various SI of Capitola-By-The-Sea programs.
All submissions will be presented at a gala reception and sold to the highest bidders in a silent auction of these outstanding works of art paired with valuable gift baskets. A live auction featuring prizes such as travel opportunities, golf outings and other items will follow.
