The Great Artist Market

Overview

For a beer with a killer riverside inner-city view, Brisbanites should be well-acquainted with Felons Brewing Co. For festivals on its lawn and movies in its Barrel Hall, everyone should know the spot as well. Also, it has become a regular go-to for Brisbane's creative community, with the Howard Smith Wharves brewery launching a makers' market in late 2023 — and bringing it back multiple times in 2024.

Next taking over Felons' Barrel Hall on Saturday, October 19 — and free to head along to — The Great Artist Market features over 70 artists and makers. Attendees can spend a day from 8am–3pm browsing, buying and supporting local talents, going home with the mindfully made items that they have on sale.

For the spring event, the market's fourth, the stalls will also again sprawl outside across the rivergarden lawn, as introduced at the winter run — which is a result of the increased interest from creative folks to sell their wares.

Whether you're looking for gifts or just love art and design markets, expect a wide variety of makers and items — with glassworks, ceramics, illustrations, furniture and pickles just some of the choices that'll be tempting your wallet.

Also on offer: DJ-spun tunes, tinsel crown and ceramic art workshops, and food and drinks. Sandwiches and bakery items will satisfy hungry stomachs, while coffee will add a spring to your step. And if you're keen on a beer after shopping, you're in the right place.
