30 November - 1 December 2024 at Mueller Hall
Information for Artists’Market
We are very pleased to be able to inform artists that the Friends of RBG Melbourne “pop-up” artist market is on again – for the sales of un-framed botanical and natural history artworks, print, cards and other small botanical merchandise.
Dates: Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1, December 2024: event days
Times: 10am – 4pm daily with set up from 9.00am.
Venue: Mueller Hall, Birdwood Ave, South Yarra
Conditions of Entry
- Artwork needs to be hand drawn/painted botanical and natural history subject matter (our preference is to exclude mammals) and no digitally generated work. May be unframed originals, prints or other related merchandise (cards, tea towels, bookmarks).
- Artists need to be active members of the Friends.
- We have responded to feedback and are this year allocating one table per artist on a first in best dressed basis. Space is limited to 28 trestle tables and you will be notified of your registration success with a request for payment on November 4.
- Costs: $20 per table per day.
- 15% commission to the Friends of RBG Melbourne
- Customers will get to “meet the artists” as artists must be present to talk to customers and facilitate their own sales.
- All sales will be processed through a central payment system at a single exit point.
- Customers will be able to view work in progress with a practising artist in residence program.
- Artists will be invited to submit an image that can be used as a hero image in promotional and advertising material.
- We strongly advise you do all you can to prevent losses (eg. Mount small prints/artworks onto A3 card to prevent slipping into carrybags).
Closing Date for submitting your Registration is Friday 1 November 2024.
