Last year Arts OutWest commissioned 15 Central West songwriters to write tracks reflecting their experiences of 2020. The compilation album of original music is titled While the World Waits. Arts OutWest then opened the conversation up to visual artists to see what they were feeling.
In 2022, 20 artists from across the Central West used the album of music as inspiration for new work. You will see painting, sculpture, drawing, weaving, ceramics, moving image, animation, photography, glass and textiles.
