Newcastle’s iconic Art Bazaar continues to be the leading artisan event on the local creative calendar. This gathering of the region’s most talented makers and creatives is thoughtfully curated by Hunter Arts Network and has been taking place since 2002.
Attendees can explore a wide range of stalls featuring hand made work by local creatives including painters, ceramics, printmaking, fibre/textiles, photography, scuplture, jewellery, glass, graphic, homewares and much more
The market brings together a community of like-minded members who are all local creatives producing unique, handmade, high quality art and design-based work, while Art Bazaar continually brings this handmade art community to loyal followers who find gifts or treats for themselves, while meeting the local Hunter makers and artists they are supporting.
Food and coffee stalls and live entertainment are part of the experience
Art Bazaar will be returning in 2026 on these dates and Latin Velvet duo is performing live again at every Art Bazaar in 2026 – IG @latinvelvetmusic – www.latinvelvet.com

You must ensure your market tent is heavily weighed down
Safety comes first and our major concern is the wind and we usually expect a bit of wind in the afternoon. Council has advised that pegs are no longer allowed in the park. Please pack weights to secure your gazebo. Weights must be around 15kg per leg and an inspection will be carried out at set up and no weights or flimsy weights will not be allowed. If bringing water weights it is often a good idea fill your water weights before packing them.
Please note Art Bazaar is an outdoor market so please be prepared for the weather for yourself and your work – please bring suitable footwear and attire and protection to cover your stall
