ARTS MARKET :: 10am-3pm Saturday 10 October 2009
During the 2009 Blacktown City Art Exhibition, Western Sydney artists and designers showcase their creative talent in the annual Arts Market. Featuring original paintings and sculptures as well as handmade jewellery and textiles, the Arts Market is a unique opportunity to see and buy locally made contemporary art and design products.

The Arts Market is a pilot project for Council and is being trialled as part of wider plans to provide ongoing economic opportunities to local artists. Stallholder expressions of interest forms will be available on the Arts Centre website in August.
