Gather, Make & Market 2026

We are delighted to announce our upcoming Newcastle Gather, Make & Market program!

Gather, Make & Market brings together women from culturally and linguistically diverse communities to participate in artisan activities and small-business skills development, fostering cultural expression and pathways to economic participation. In partnership with Mosaic Multicultural Connections, thanks to Newcastle Council’s social inclusion grants program, in 2026 we will deliver:

  • Creative Workshops developed in consultation with participating CALD communities

  • Maker sessions to produce products for market

  • Sustainable resource sourcing and retail tour

  • Marketing and retail experience at local markets

  • A small-business seminar for budding entrepreneurs
