Paddington Art Market
Paddington's Barracks get a touch of the Seine.
Overview
Your jacaranda-dotted, snail-paced Sunday morning stroll around Paddington is about get even better. On September 14, Victoria Barracks’ sandstone wall will become the backdrop to the new Paddington Art Market. Both fresh-faced, emerging artists and established pros will have their latest creations on display. There’ll be painting, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, graphics and more.
Woollahra Council Mayor Toni Zeltzer dreamt up the idea following a recent sojourn in Europe. “When I visited the artists’ stalls along the Seine River in Paris and Camden Loch in London, I thought why not do this here, within an Australia vernacular?” she said. “The Paddington Art Market is the perfect showcase for what is at the heart of Paddington’s identity — its creativity.”
If you’d like to set up a stall of your own, simply apply through the site and pay a nominal fee, which will be donated to the Holdsworth Community Centre, a Woollahra-based NGO dedicated to helping the aged, disadvantaged and individuals with disabilities.
