Blak Markets in The Rocks 2023
Browse artwork, jewellery, clothes, homewares and skincare from Indigenous artisans at this two-day market.
Overview
The Rocks' Blak Markets are back, bringing together artwork, jewellery, textiles and food from Australia's Indigenous communities. The markets will once again take place on Gadigal land — setting up shop on the Tallawoladah Lawn in front of the MCA for two days from Friday, March 4 through Saturday, March 5 (10am–4pm daily).
Throughout the weekend, more than 20 stalls will sell goods made exclusively by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and makers. Artworks, skincare, jewellery, body oils, clothes, homewares and magazines will all be on sale.
In between wandering the stalls, you can check out the program of performances and workshops throughout the weekend. Both days will kick off with a Welcome to Country and a smoking ceremony. You can then catch traditional dancers, singing and kids' storytelling, as well as attend weaving workshops with Ngumpie Weaving and Magpie Song Healing.
There will also be an Indigenous-owned coffee van serving up cappuccinos and ice cream if you need your morning caffeine hit or a snack while you're exploring the market.
