FROM SOFT PLASTIC WASTE TO WASTE 2 ART CREATIONS
21 Jun 2022 10:23 AM -
The 2022 Lachlan Shire Waste 2 Art competition attracted innovative entries that have been on public exhibition in the Condobolin and Lake Cargelligo Libraries over the past two weeks.
Local artists of all ages responded to the challenge of creating artwork from materials that would otherwise be discarded as rubbish and would have ended up in landfill. The Waste 2 Art competition and exhibition, seeks to raise awareness of environmental issues and our waste generation.

Lachlan Shire Council’s Environment and Waste Coordinator Rowan Bentick said, “I really enjoy coordinating the local Waste 2 Art program and am always impressed with the creativity and effort artists display in their work. All winning entries from local competitions in the NetWaste region will now be displayed at the regional exhibition at the Lithgow Union Theatre from 10 July 2022 – 7 August 2022.”
The exhibition is on display at the Lake Cargelligo Library until this Friday.
