Waste Not, Want Not
brings often-unseen contemporary craft practices to audiences in regional Victoria which seeks to inspire new perspectives on creativity, and provide a safe and welcoming space to visit.

This carefully curated exhibition showcases the contemporary craft practices of artists and makers who are mindful of their environmental impact and choose to reimagine and repurpose materials by adapting traditional techniques to create unique contemporary art pieces.


Ultimately, Waste Not, Want Not serves as a reminder that we all have a responsibility to create and consume in ways that are more respectful of our planet and environment. When you visit in person, please ask about joining our “Waste Not, Want Not Plant Pots Project”.
