Melbourne Makers' Market
A curated monthly market of art, design and local makers in the heart of the CBD.
Next: Saturday 19th September 2026 @ City Square Melbourne
Always original Art & Design
In the heart of the city
Once a month, up to forty of Melbourne's finest emerging artists, designers and makers take over the City Square, one of Naarm's most storied civic spaces, and bring it back to life.
The Melbourne Makers' Market is a curated, design-led market dedicated entirely to original work: handmade, locally made, and made with intention. No resellers. No franchise pop-ups. Just makers, their work, and you.
Come and find something you'll keep forever
What to expect
Textiles & Wearables. Ceramics & Sculpture. Print & 2D Art. Furniture & Industrial Design.
Every edition is a different mix. The Curatorial Panel selects up to forty stalls afresh each month, so there's always something and someone new to discover. Chat to the maker behind the work. Watch a piece being finished at the stall. Buy directly from the maker.
This is what a market is supposed to feel like
