Who We’re Looking For

We welcome applications from makers working across all disciplines — textiles and wearables, ceramics and glass, print and 2D art, jewellery, furniture, lighting, industrial and product design, and more. What we’re looking for is the same across all categories:

  • Made by you - Every product must be made by you or your named studio.

  • Original work - A clear point of view, materials integrity, and an identifiable maker’s hand.

  • Locally based - Greater Melbourne or regional Victoria, with a preference for studios within 30km of the CBD.

  • Emerging practice - Within your first ten years of professional work.

  • Sustainable approach - A demonstrable relationship to material origin, repairability, or circularity.

*Please note we are not accepting hot food type stalls at this event.

Each stall is a 3m × 3m footprint. Artists and designers are to bring along their own shelter (with appropriate weights) and display items including tables, chairs, easels, racks, mirrors etc.
