Arts North West hosted a series of ‘Gather and Trade’ Aboriginal artisan micro market days throughout the New England North West in 2023. ANW invited First Nations artists, craftspeople, and cultural artisans to submit an expression of interest to have a stall and be part of each event. This was great opportunity for local Aboriginal creatives to sell their art and products, and reach a wider audience to promote their goods and practices.

The dates and locations were as follows:

  • 1.00pm – 4.00pm in Glen Innes on Saturday 6 May, 2023 at Coomarah Cultural Centre, 8 MacKenzie St, Glen Innes NSW 2370
