  • Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar Lambton Park Sunday 26 March 2023

    Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar Lambton Park Sunday 26 March 2023

    I’m excited because next month Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar returns to Lambton Park on Sunday 26 March 2023. We will be there from 10am to 3pm. I am one of the sixty Hunter Arts Network members to have a stall at the market. This is where I have my artworks for sale. I have had a stall at every Art Bazaar for the last nine years.

    Art Bazaar has been held every year since 2002! When Art Bazaar began it was originally held in Laman Street. Art Bazaar started with an idea from Newcastle City Council and this is how Hunter Arts Network was formed. Twenty years ago Art Bazaar began to develop a loyal following and fan base. HAN is run by a dedicated committee of volunteers who have also worked hard to celebrate all modalities of visual arts and the committee that has come together continues to do an amazing job to make this happen.

    Stallholders are selected based on the originality and quality of their wares โ€“ so thereโ€™s plenty to capture your imagination. Bring the family or meet up with friends to wander the stalls to find unique gifts or treat for yourself, and meet the local Hunter makers and artists.

    After what has been some patchy Covid years by purchasing direct from the makers youโ€™ll be supporting their hand made work and you get to take home a one-of-a kind treasure

    All stallholders are members of Hunter Arts Network. The event showcases their unique, handmade artisan goods including a wide variety of carefully selected stalls featuring premium local artisan handmade products. Art Bazaar has cemented itโ€™s reputation since 2002 as the event that showcases the Hunterโ€™s creative & vibrant art community that locals & visitors look forward to several times every year. Food trucks, coffee and entertainment is also on offer.

    These events will be conducted in accordance with State Government Covid-19 restrictions which may change or apply at these times
