Waste 2 Art
Waste 2 Art is a FREE waste-inspired art competition and exhibition that celebrates the reuse and recycling of waste. There's a category for every member of the community and each year there is a waste theme to guide your creations. The focus of Waste 2 Art is to challenge the way we look at waste.
