Engine Room

Local artists transform waste into art, in this innovative exhibition, presented in partnership with Central Goldfields Shire Council’s Healthy Environments team. 

It will be a celebration of creativity and sustainability, as this year we are doing Community Arts – Upcycled!

Artists have been encouraged to create an artwork with recycled materials/component(s) or that has a sustainability theme.

This year the exhibition will be held from
27 November 2025 through to 22 February 2026

Come in and vote for your favourite artwork for it to win the People's Choice Award.

Here is a great example of upcycling... and this sculpture was the winner of the 2024 People's choice Award - Robert Liston, Flying Toaster, 2021–2024, mixed media: old toaster, coffee grinder, scooter, bits and bobs.
