CREATIVE
Art on Bundjalung Market, which celebrates the creative cultural heritage of the Bundjalung region, is coming to Kyogle in 2022. Featuring handmade arts and crafts by established and emerging artists and collectives, who use both traditional and contemporary materials and practices including weaving, ceramics, carving, photography, painting, and textiles. The Arts Northern Rivers event offers the opportunity to see, experience and purchase incredible work being produced by artists of the Bundjalung region, and offers a unique chance to ‘meet the makers’ and hear their stories. Previous events (in 2019 and 2021 at The Quad in Lismore) have been the largest Indigenous markets ever presented in the Northern Rivers / Bundjalung region, surpassing all expectations regarding audience numbers (over 5,000 visitors), artist participation, sales generated, and on-going opportunities developed.
“The overwhelming success of the delivered Art on Bundjalung Market events in Lismore have proved the importance of continuing to deliver this event to our community,” explained Jane Fuller, Arts Northern Rivers Executive Director. “Celebrating the cultural heritage of the Bundjalung region, the market is an opportunity to meet the artists, hear their stories and share their culture.” For more information visit www.artonbundjalung.com
