Waste to Art & Design
A NetWaste initiative and proudly sponsored by SIMS Metal, WASTE 2 ART is a community exhibition and competition that shows creative works made from reused and recycled waste materials.
The purpose of the project is to encourage the concept of REDUCE REUSE and RECYCLE whilst changing attitudes about 'rubbish' and what we throw away.
This year, there are 17 councils participating in the project: Blayney, Blue Mountains, Bourke, Broken Hill, Central Darling (Menindee), Cobar, Coonamble, Dubbo, Forbes, Gilgandra, Mid-Western Regional, Narromine, Parkes, Walgett, Warrumbungle, Weddin, and Wellington.
Project Stages:
- Free community workshops in each centre as a way of encouraging community members to participate in the local competition and exhibition
- Local competitions in each participating community centre.
- Regional Exhibition and Competition in Gilgandra in May 2009. This exhibition will showcase the winners from the various local competitions.
- Travelling photographic exhibition featuring all entries from the regional exhibition.
