Blak Arts Collective Pop-Up Gallery Shop
An empty shopfront in Muswellbrook Marketplace (near the chemist)
Discover local Aboriginal art and artists from across the region at Muswellbrook Marketplace in mid-October.
Step inside and discover First Nations artwork, stories and culture.
Browse and purchase true local original artwork and gifts. Enjoy live art demonstrations and talks. Take part in workshops and activities for kids and adults. Meet local creatives. There will even be boomerang-throwing lessons.
The project is delivered by Blak Arts Collective, in partnership with Arts Upper Hunter and Wanaruah Local Aboriginal Land Council, with support from the Australian Government's Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support (IVAIS) program.
The program is devised by First Nations people and will be a welcoming space for everyone. A representative line-up of creative work will include big and small paintings, weavings, jewellery, woodwork, sculpture, and other stuff too. And a lot of First Nations art tells a story that comes from Country and Family and that stuff.
There's something for your wall, for your table, something to wear, or a great Christmas present.
Whose work will you get to see? There's artists from Wanaruah/Wonnarua and Gringai/Worimi mob, as well as other First Nations creatives living within the Dungog, Singleton, Muswellbrook and Upper Hunter Shires. The goal is to sell work and give economic opportunity for Aboriginal people. Come inside!
