Bottom Drawer Buy Swap or Sell Artist Market - Sunday 22 March
Memorial Hall from 10am – 1pm
Every artist has a bottom drawer — the small works, happy experiments, and perfectly good materials that never quite found their moment.
Bottom Drawer invites artists to bring those pieces out into the open. This market is for affordable artworks, works-in-progress, experiments, and lightly used art materials.
Perfection isn’t the point — curiosity, reuse, and accessibility are. Whether you’re selling, swapping, or buying, it’s about giving overlooked treasures a second life and making art approachable for artists and the wider community.
This event is part of the epic Cockburn LIVE line-up for 2025-26.
