The While the World Waits exhibition of contemporary art by Central West NSW artists opens at Gang Gang Gallery on Saturday 11 June.
The Arts OutWest curated exhibition showcases some of the region’s most exciting visual artists as they each respond to original music reflecting on the challenging and changing times over the past two years.
Last year Arts OutWest commissioned 15 Central West songwriters to each write a track reflecting their experiences of 2020. We created a compilation album of original music titled While the World Waits. Then we opened the conversation up to visual artists to see what they were feeling.
The This third leg of the 12 stop, 12 month regional tour officially opens Saturday 11 June 2-4pm with a with a special performance by Lake Cargelligo based musician Adam Kerezy – who features on the original While the World Waits music album with a track ‘Waiting Game’, bringing together art from the eastern and far western side of the Arts OutWest region.
