December 8th, 2023Newstead hub hosts debut artists’ market

The Newstead Arts Hub’s inaugural artists market will be held on Sunday, December 10 from 10am to 4pm – in and around the historic Newstead Railway Station and garden.

The artists market will have more than 25 stalls inside the Hub, scattered along the old railway platform and in the garden. It’s a chance to meet the artists as well as make a purchase or two.

A special feature is the inclusion of some favourite visual artists who have exhibited at the Newstead Arts Hub recently: Milton Moss, Marcus Hotblack, Prue McAdam, Bridget Farmer, John Smith, Sean Kenan, Chrisanne Blennerhassett, and the print-making foursome from the recent The Shape of Blue exhibition – Malini Lewis, Janet Neilson, Penny Peckham & Anne-Maree Taylor. Add to that list local
art stars Mary Caspar and Carol Porter.

The Newstead Arts Hub is a community/artist run creative space. It is committed to creating opportunities for the communities to enjoy, share and get hands on creatively. And it is committed to supporting local artists.

During the first year of Covid, Newstead Arts Hub initiated an online artists market as a way of supporting local artists whose chance to share and sell their art had been so suddenly shut down
– as had the Arts Hub. Now, the market is going live for the first time.
