Art Trash at Big Day Out
Recycling at this year’s Big Day Out takes a twist with a series of 240 litre wheelie bins tricked out in original artwork by New Zealand’s hottest street artists. Eight leading artists – including Askew One, Misery and BMD – are each using a bin as their canvas in an exclusive BDO art project. Eight budding artists will also get the chance to join the Big Day Out Rubbish Art Crew and paint their own bins, through a competition run through George FM and Kiwi FM. All sixteen bins will be on display at BDO, and then following the 17 January event at Western Springs, they will each go up for auction with proceeds going to the New Zealand Music Foundation.
