    Today’s Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar at Lambton Park was a huge success!

    Thank you to everyone who attended Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar today at Lambton Park and supported our local artists and artisans – we had such a huge line up of incredible makers. We were thrilled to see our first 2022 Art Bazaar attract such a great turnout. Although the day started off soggy underfoot this soon dried out and we were very lucky to have break from the rain with plenty of sunshine giving us and the huge crowd a pearler of a day and I sold my “Empty Shelf” painting

    Here’s some photos from today:
