Put It On Wax

Overview

aMBUSH Gallery's latest exhibition features second-hand vinyl records transformed into art by over 200 Australian artists, all in the name of charity.

Put It On Wax has been co-curated by the Lord Street Collective, a group of Sydneysiders ranging from rappers, singers, producers and musicians to painters. Admission to the exhibition is free, but proceeds from the sale of the artworks will go to Heaps Decent, Sydney's not-for-profit arts organisation that supports young musicians from disadvantaged and marginalised communities.

Just a few of the 200 artists featured include artist-illustrator Chris Yee, whose work includes the cover art for the Zeds Dead x Diplo single 'Blame', Melbourne-based street artist Phibs and multimedia artists Ears (Daniel O'Toole), Brett Chan and George Rose.

Alongside the exhibition, there will a second-hand record fair, as well as a number of workshops and events dedicated to vinyl painting, music production, cutting and scratching, poetry and lyric writing, and break lessons.

Put It On Wax runs August 20 to September 18. Opening night is Friday, August 19 from 6-9pm.
