Art from trash

ART from TRASH is a trademark of Hobart’s Resource Work Cooperative and an exhibition hosted by Bower Reuse & Repair Centres throughout the month of October in Parramatta and Redfern. It’s an exhibition that encourages the reuse of discarded materials in the production of amazing visual art.
