Waste 2 Art Winners announced.

On Wednesday 21st of May the Waste 2 Art Competition and Exhibition was officially opened and the winners were announced.

A project by NetWaste, supported by Outback Arts and Coonamble Shire Council, this regular event attracts a wide range of artists, including youth. It engages the imagination and showcases our community’s artistic and creative endeavours using items that are traditionally considered waste.

Winners from this local competition will go ahead to the regional exhibition and competition, this year hosted by Western Plains Cultural Centre, from the 20th September - 2nd November 2025.

Huge thanks to everyone who entered and congratulations to this year’s winners!
