the market : showcasing tasmanian independent art & design

Established in April 2009 – the market is a boutique art and design event, held seasonally in the intriguing Masonic Temple. the market creators, Shannon Robertson and Holly Webber, both run successful small businesses of their own, so understand first-hand the need for a high integrity market, where up-and-coming Tasmanian artists, designers and makers can get the right sort of exposure.

Today, Holly and Shannon continue in their mission for local love, and strive to keep building a market that is passionate about showcasing the abundance of talent tucked away in Tasmania, while providing a platform for existing and emerging artists and designers to sell their wares. the market is constantly evolving, hosting a new batch of stall holders each market. This means the products on offer are always new, exciting and forever changing.

the market features unique jewellery and accessories, bags, limited run stationery, art and photography, home wares, clothing, linen, beautiful garden design and innovative lighting products. Also, perfect little presents like delicious jams, homemade muesli and award winning fudge.

With the market well and truly established, locals now have a lovely seasonal market to attend, and visitors to Hobart can head to the market knowing that what’s on offer is a snapshot of the vibrant art and design scene in Tasmania.
