THE ever-popular Twilight Art Market returns on Saturday, when the doors open at 4pm.
Held twice a year at the Swan Hill Town Hall, it is more than simply a market with the more than 20 stallholders, but a celebration of art, food and music.
There will be an exciting array of food options available including Helen Tuntar with her African-styled foods and Iree Waiata from Kalina Pathema with her selection of Indigenous foods.
A coffee van will be on site and Jake from Art Expresso will be making an array of food, such as sliders.
Grim Faulkner, fast becoming a regular on the local music scene, will be performing his country, pop and folk mix in Mully’s Place.
On the mezzanine there will be workshops on making corn dollies, doing harvest notes working with wheat.
The summer version of the market will feature an art installation described as an experience for the senses.
Market curator Nina McNamara said the project was working under the theme of Harvest and the project asked locals to document what harvest means to them.
“This may be as a farmer or it may be someone that is not even physically involved in the harvest,” Ms McNamara said.
“It has been really nice to have these conversations and the variety of views was fantastic, I can’t wait for it to be operating on Saturday.
“There will be a screening, there will be tables set up, and you can open the folders and read through peoples stories while listening to the interviews that will be projected onto the wall.
“It is more than just an art market, it has added textures, as I like to say.
“Many of our stallholders are new and the focus is really on the art. The main focus of the market is for people to connect with the maker and creator of the work.”
Starting with a smoking ceremony and welcome to country, the market will run until 8pm.
