Art From Trash is an annual community event that encourages the reuse of discarded materials in the production of visual art. The exhibition is open to all ages and is a great opportunity for many first time and emerging artists. Art From Trash is instrumental in promoting creative reuse, and, while the exhibition is a lot of fun, there is an underlying message to use the earth’s resources wisely and to minimize the inappropriate disposal of limited resources.
The exhibition has been going as long as the Resource Work Cooperative has been operating the Resource Tip Shop, since 1995. It has been held at the Moonah Arts Centre, the Waterside Pavilion, Mawson’s Place, and for many years at the Long Gallery, Salamanca Arts Centre. Thousands of visitors, from arts aficionados to school children, have witnessed the amazing artworks over the years, and our opening nights are a feature on the Hobart sub-cultural calendar.
Art From Trash is a great platform for artists to launch themselves into the public arena. The exhibition is non-selective and for a reasonable entry fee, artists receive exposure to a large number of the public, the arts community and even public officials, like the Lord Mayor, who has opened the exhibition on a number of occasions. In recent years Art From Trash has included a People’s Choice Award. Apart from receiving a $100 Resource gift voucher, the People’s Choice winner each year is featured in the promotional artwork the following year, another great opportunity for local artists to lift their profile.
