a list of places where you can source some rad art
Want to gift a mate something special or just want to spruce up your abode? Spy our recommendations of places, galleries and markets that offer some spiffy art.
We reckon that there's nothing better than adorning our living quarters with fresh new artwork to make our rooms look that much nicer (or to masterly cover up stains or peeled paint from unsuspecting landlords). Peep our list of places where you can grab paintings, posters, tapestries and heaps of other arty goodness below.
COBURG MAKERS MARKET
This event takes place in Coburg, Melbourne, on July 20th from 11am – 4pm, where a multitude of super-talented peeps will be showing off their wares at Coburg Studios.

You won't need to keep any dates free for this one – it's all online! Living in the future is pretty rad, hey?

BRUNSWICK ST. GALLERY
Not only is this a pretty lovely place to wander through exhibitions, but it also happens to have a healthy amount of dazzling art to take home. From ceramics and paintings, to prints, figurines and more, you might have a hard time picking out what you'd like to nab – but there are worse problems to have. Take a gander at their store here, if you'd like.
