Project Summary

29 artists and students delivered 33 installations, sculptures and performances from all over Central NSW, from Queensland and Tasmania and represent a cross-section of professional and emerging arts practitioners in the 2007 temporary and ephemeral art event held for 3 weeks in the Orange Botanic Gardens in October-November 2007. The program included talks and presentations, childrens performances and workshops, an Artists Symposium and a TasteWaste element that brought together learning about "food miles" and waste, waste to art and the local vignerons.
The project was a collaboration and partnership between Arts OutWest, the project coordinators, Orange City Council, Orange Regional Arts Foundation (donors & sponsors), Brand Orange and the Central NSW Organisation of Councils (CENTROC).

    "Cities must trade in cultural cringe for a growing sense of confidence in our distinctiveness. They must try to be somewhere, not anywhere in the extended global sprawl of electronic suburbia. Cities must wilfully believe that the unique combination of events that may fuse here is just as compelling as those that may fuse somewhere else. Cities need to involve their people in making and remaking their own mythology, and create something that is truly unique." Marcus Westbury
