2024 Waste to Art Competition Exhibition

This exciting competition and exhibition gives aspiring and professional artists the chance to explore and share their waste reduction messages whilst showcasing their artistic ability.

Waste to Art aims to challenge the way we look at waste and celebrates reusing and repurposing waste across the region through works of art. 

Aspiring and professional artists have created works using items destined for landfill.
