Brisbane Visual Arts Community Pop-Up Shop

Overview

Brisbane doesn't lack in markets, but what if the city's best place for arts and crafts isn't the regular haunts you've been heading to each week or month? What if it's a twice-a-year gathering of Brisbane's creative folks that happens at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mt Coot-tha?

Going along to the Brisbane Visual Arts Community Pop-Up Shop between 10am and 3pm on May 7 is the only way to find out. Don't worry, you'll be rewarded for your efforts. Browse through handcrafted original pieces by local artisans and craftspeople, including porcelain, textiles, leather, glass, silk, jewellery, paintings, prints, quilts, ceramics and enamels. And, watch demonstrations of how the crafty magic happens.

The shop takes over the Gardens' auditorium to protect everything from the elements; however, once you're there, you may as well roam the grounds as well. Basically, buy something to brighten up your house, then brighten up your day with plenty of foliage.
