Waste 2 Art: The 2023 Sims Waste 2 – Art Regional Showcase
Sun 23 July - Sun 20 August
The official opening will be held on Saturday 22 July from 10.30am.
Blayney Shire Council is proud to be hosting Waste 2 Art, an art exhibition showcasing creative works made from reused & recyclable waste materials. Councils within the NetWaste region have been hosting local competitions and now the winning artworks are on their way to Blayney for the Regional Showcase.
Waste 2 Art’s aim is to challenge peoples’ perceptions about ‘rubbish’ and to celebrate the reuse and recycling of waste through arts and crafts. Waste to Art provides an innovative approach to waste education, invites schools and community groups to take up the challenge and create a new life for materials that would otherwise have been thrown away.
Exhibition runs from 23 July to 20 August 2023.
Wednesday to Friday 10am to 4pm
Saturday to Sunday 10am to 2pm
This exhibition is sponsored by the NSW Government and Sims Metal.
