Waste 2 Art Launch and Workshop

The Parkes Shire Waste 2 Art Exhibition and Competition is back starting with the launch on Saturday April 5th.

Join us for a thought-provoking look at how the Waste 2 Art competition aims to inspire us to do better when it comes to the waste we generate! Waste 2 Art is an inspiring initiative that challenges individuals, schools, and communities to rethink waste by transforming discarded materials into works of art.

Bill Tink from NetWaste will explore all things Waste 2 Art in his talk with a focus on this year’s theme waste – Toys. Bill will cover topics like recycling, wish-cycling, and the many waste issues we face, especially in relation to toys. Parkes has a strong commitment to Waste 2 Art and Bill is looking forward to meeting with the community again in 2025! All your Waste 2 Art, recycling and toy waste questions will be answered in Bill’s talk, we hope to see you there.

This will be followed by an amazing workshop with local Orange artist Jac Davies. Jac's enthusiasm for recycling and using waste materials will inspire you to kick start your Waste 2 Art entry.
