Many of the artists who created and donated an art bra in support of breast cancer awareness are also designers, finalists and winners in the recent Wearable Art Mandurah competition.

“Bid for a designer bra – it will be the talking point in your home for years to come,’’ Hay said.

Bid for a Bra began as an ideas in 2016 that evolved into an art competition and exhibition last year.

When registrations opened for the competition the support was overwhelming.

The event was a huge success with more than 60 national and international entries
