Waste 2 Art
Sims Metal WASTE TO ART & DESIGN 2019 is a community art exhibition and competition showcasing imaginative works made from reused and recyclable waste materials. The aim is to challenge people’s perception about ‘rubbish’, celebrate reuse, minimise waste generation and increase recycling, through arts and crafts.
Entry is free and the competition categories are:
· 2 Dimensional - Poster/Painting/Collage/Drawing
· 3 Dimensional – Sculpture/Installation/ Video /Soundscape
· Functional – furniture, craftworks & wearable items made from recycled materials
Within these categories there are sections for pre-school, primary school, secondary, community, open (professional artist) and Building or Element or Building/Large Sculpture. Prizes will be given to the most inspiring artwork in each section/category.
A specific waste item is featured as part of Waste to Art each round in an attempt to highlight problem issues and this year is the year of bailing twine and strapping. Artworks do not have to use the theme waste, but an additional prize will be given to an artwork featuring this material.
Entry Forms are available at Lachlan Shire Council, or can be download below.
Further inquiries please contact Council’s Environment and Waste Officer on (02) 6895 1950.
