WAYOUT, a Cementa initiative sustained by building purchase. Image supplied.
In 2012, the idea of an arts festival in the once booming regional town of Kandos – about three hours from Sydney – took root.
Co-Founder and Creative Director of Cementa Inc. Alex Wisser admitted to ArtsHub with a laugh: ‘I had no idea this would be my life, living in a small regional town running a festival.’
Further along the main street from that first shopfront, Angus Hall has been renamed WAYOUT, and is the headquarters of Cementa Inc.
