We would like to send a big thank you to Outback Arts for hosting the 2021 Waste 2 Art exhibition and Coonamble Shire Council for their assistance and hospitality. Unfortunately Covid did create some challenges for workshops and limited gallery hours but it never dampened the enthusiasm and commitment from this great team. There are so many fantastic artworks on display which you can check out online HERE.

We have announced the Regional Winners for Waste 2 Art 2021 and all the works can be viewed online HERE

Waste 2 Art 2019 catalogue

The 2019 Waste 2 Art Regional Exhibition is on from July 27 – August 17 at the Malachi Gilmore Hall, Oberon.

Entries from residents in thirteen member councils will be on show – make sure you visit and check out how baling twine, strapping and other waste items have been given a second chance at life in awesome pieces of art – just like this one titled ‘Powerful Owl’s nest’ by the Blue Mountains Community.

Made from soft plastics, strapping and discarded fabrics it’s a perfect home for the threatened Powerful Owl species found in the Blue Mountains of NSW.

The theme for this year is Baling Twine and Strapping but it’s not compulsory, you can use anything so long as it’s waste.

If you are in Bathurst, Blayney, Cabonne, Forbes, Orange or Parkes, JR Richards are collecting your bins. They have a hotline for any collection or bin related issues. Give them a call on 1300 725 415.

For any other bin related queries or if you are outside of these areas, please ring your local council, they can help!
