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 is the pioneer of creative market events in Newcastle.

We invite you to discover both our live, and virtual, market days!

“Olive Tree is fundamental to my business. It has given me a platform of customers that has really helped to expand my business and given me the ability to continue to progress as an artist.”
“Olive Tree really kick started things for me. It has boosted my confidence in my ability to create pieces that people actually want to buy. The exposure, commission leads, and social media presence have been huge.”
