the market : showcasing tasmanian independent art & design

Established in April 2009 – the market is a boutique art and design event, held 6 times a year in the intriguing Masonic Temple. the market creators, Shannon Robertson and Holly Webber, both run successful small businesses of their own, so understood the need for and were intent on creating, a high integrity market, where quality up-and-coming Tasmanian artists, designers and makers could get the right sort of exposure.

the market strives to keep its focus on boutique, high quality products, made with integrity, original thought and professionalism. While the exhibitors are extremely varied in their fields (think fashion illustration to bespoke ceramics), all belong to a similar ilk, which reflect the core values of the market, to present customers with the cream of the crop of Art & Design in Tasmania.

Holly and Shannon are committed to their mission of showcasing and celebrating the abundance of talent tucked away in Tasmania, and are forever seeking new exhibitors, who have something wonderful and unique to offer the marketplace.

With an exciting and interesting lineup of labels for 2012, featuring a new selection of exhibitors at each event, visitors can head to the market knowing that what’s on offer is indeed a snapshot of the vibrant art and design scene in Tasmania.
