The No Vacancy gallery space at Melbourne’s QV always has great stuff on like killer art exhibitions or that kooky PR driven Indoor Drive-In. I was the supermarket buying soy milk and apple crumble (unemployment cuisine) and stumbled upon the No Vacancy Art Market totally by chance and it is quite wonderful. It’s been on for a while but I caught the late boat. It’s running for only another couple of days till May 17th, and the spiel from the website explains it best. ‘Twenty stalls presenting emerging and established local talent in the Gallery’s inner-city space over four weeks. Illustrators, artists, jewellers, designers, animators, rare booksellers and an eclectic mix of hand-picked others come together to showcase their wares and offer a rare opportunity to collect original work.” I took some pictures. I loved the Artist’s Puzzle Book, a compilation of puzzles hand drawn by Melbourne artists. And Zoe Churchill’s stoneware and Curious Moth’s illustrations.
Full of gorgeous finds, I wish more people chose markets over malls. Market love.
No Vacancy Gallery, 27-33 Red Cape Lane (QV Building), Melbourne 3000

So amazing and eclectic malls of chain stores.
Sorry the computer warped my comment into nonsense.
Anyway, what I meant to say: “so amazing and eclectic! Markets > malls of chain stores.”
How do i not know about this?! This looks amazing! Thanks for posting
Wow, this is so interesting, and such a mixture of different things. Reminds me a bit of the art markets they have around Brick Lane on Sundays.
