Art Speaks
Plastic Palace, MAMA Albury, every day, free
A new building has sprouted in Albury’s QEII Square, one that combines architecture, art and a tangible message about rubbish. Plastic Palace is a six metre tall installation made from 20 tonnes of plastic collected over four weeks at the Albury Waste Management Centre. Created by architect Raffaello Rosselli, the artwork presents a neat house-like exterior but within there are layers and layers of plastic bales bound together. “Once you are inside you really see the gravity of the amount of plastic waste that we're producing.” Raffaello Rosselli

Bakers Eddy, 2018 Retro Xmas, QEII Square, Saturday December 22, free

Bakers Eddy will be supported by young Border talent including Albury’s Tullie Roberts, ELK, Cheese Graters and Tahli Gibson.
