The last two years have been tough in the Arts. Lockdowns and loss of work ran right across all artforms. Live shows took a hammering! In 2021, Arts OutWest commissioned 15 central west songwriters to each write a song reflecting their experiences of 2020, producing a compilation album of original music, titled While the World Waits.

In 2022, artists from across the central west have been asked to use the CD as a jumping-off point and inspiration for new work – a unique opportunity for regional visual artists to create artworks in response to regional music.

While the World Waits is a curated exhibition in which selected artists each respond to one or more tracks, title or words on the album. The exhibition will showcase work from across all mediums: you will see painting, sculpture, drawing, ceramics, moving image, photography, glass and textiles.

The exhibition opening on Saturday 3 December at 2 pm will feature musician Kris Schubert performing his original music live.
