GATHER AND TRADE – ABORIGINAL ARTISAN MICRO MARKETS - ARMIDALE

Arts North West is hosting another instalment of our Gather and Trade – Aboriginal Artisan Micro Markets at the Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Keeping Place in Armidale from 10.00 am on Saturday 2 September 2023. This is part of a larger event to celebrate the newly refurbished foyer and entryway of the Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Keeping Place and the official opening of the exhibition ‘For our Elders’. This event featured live performances from Bob Blair, artist talks, artist demonstrations, market stalls and the unveiling of the newly completed murals at the Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Keeping Place (ACCKP)

This was a great chance for local aboriginal creatives to showcase and promote their arts practice to a wider audience.  These markets were in collaboration with the Armidale Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Keeping Place and Settlement Services International’s (SSI) Ignite Small Business Start-ups program and Arts North Wests contributions are funded by Create NSW and The Australian Government’s IVIAS Funding.
