SOUTHEAST Aboriginal Arts Market returns to Carriageworks as an online market for four days from 25-28 Nov 2021. Curated by Hetti Perkins (Arrernte / Kalkadoon) and Jonathan Jones (Wiradjuri / Kamilaroi) SOUTHEAST celebrates the rich cultural inheritance and contemporary artistic expression of Aboriginal artists and practitioners of the south-east region of Australia.

This year, the market brings together 31 independent Aboriginal artists and collectives with over 250 artworks for sale across ceramics, jewellery, weaving, carving, textiles, photography, painting and prints.

100% of proceeds go directly to the artists.
