The Olive Tree Market Newcastle's Premiere Art and Design Market

The Olive Tree Market was launched to provide Newcastle’s contemporary artists and designers with an arena to showcase their work at supportive, vibrant, culturally diverse events.

Our ethos is all about community, and supporting creators of handmade, maker, and ethically created goods.

In the spirit of reconciliation, the Olive Tree Market acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.

We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Olive Tree connects you to Newcastle’s creative community.

We feature a carefully curated line-up of over 130 of the best emerging and established artists, designers, makers, gourmet artisan food producers, and delicious street food purveyors each month. Meet our makers, learn their stories, and take home beautiful goods, which have been consciously created by our talented artistic community.
