The Rose Street Artists' Market

The Rose Street Artists' Market is a beloved Fitzroy institution, held every Saturday and Sunday in a converted warehouse. The market features over 60 stalls run by the artists and makers themselves, offering everything from original paintings and prints to handcrafted jewelry, ceramics, textiles, and vintage clothing. The atmosphere is creative and community-focused, with live music often filling the air. Unlike larger tourist markets, Rose Street has a raw, indie feel, you can chat directly with the creators about their techniques and inspiration. It's a prime spot to find unique souvenirs and support Melbourne's thriving independent art scene.

A bit of history

Founded in 2003 by a group of local artists, the market was created to provide affordable, direct-to-public sales opportunities for emerging creatives. It has since become a launchpad for many successful Australian designers.
