Art of Food Waste
Event Information
About this Event
Featuring the works of 20 artists, this exhibition will celebrate the overlooked (by-)products of our food system and provide our guests with the opportunity to see, feel & taste how delicious a more sustainable future would be.
All this food art making you hungry? Throughout the exhibit we'll have our gourmet plant- or cheese-based toasties (made almost entirely out of would-be wasted food) ready for you to devour.
𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕
Come and taste what our local art community has cooked up for us with sculptures of wasted food, paintings made from food pigment, and so much more all created to spark some tasty chats about our food system.

Come celebrate our wonderful community by feasting & frolicking all over the place with a special Hidden Harvest bar & festivities to before we pack this all up and head back to the kitchen.
After what has been a particularly difficult year for non-profit organisations and the environmental movement as a whole, Art of Food Waste is an excellent opportunity for the community of Wollongong to support local creatives and change-makers, all in the one space.
We can't wait to see you there!
