Waste to Art
Challenge the way we look at waste!
The Sustainable Neighbourhoods Waste to Art project invites school groups, community groups, community and professional artists to create artworks that explore ideas about waste, litter and over-consumption.
The project was originally inspired by two previous art exhibitions run by Sustainable Neighbourhood groups in West Wallsend District and Caves Beach – Swansea Area. Waste to Art was established in 2018 to include the whole of Lake Macquarie and region, and has successfully delivered 3 major exhibitions. Waste and plastic pollution has an enormous impact on the local and global environment. Stay tuned for details of the 2021 Waste to Art project.
