Waste to Art

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.
