Art on Bundjalung 2024 took place on the river foreshore in Dirruwung | Evans Head in November.

This free community event was a unique opportunity to purchase local First Nations artwork and to meet the makers. Over 30 market stalls of both established and emerging artists featured traditional and contemporary materials including weaving, ceramics, carving, photography, painting and textiles.  

Developed in Richmond Valley Council, Art on Bundjalung featured a full cultural program including a Welcome to Country, live music and performance, cultural dance, workshops, and jarjums activities.
