CRITERIA

Each event, we invite Australian designers, makers and artists with high quality products and a professional approach to apply. Emerging and established. Local and interstate. As well as makers of delicious food and beverages to cater throughout the weekend.

All work must be designed (and preferably made) in Australia by the stallholder, and selection is based on high quality workmanship and fresh contemporary ideas.

A cohesive range, professional stall presentation, images and online presence also influence selection.

Variety within each event, and between events, is also considered in curating an exciting range of furniture, ceramics, lighting, prints, paintings, photography, fashion, stationery, homewares, textiles, accessories and more.

Bowerbird is the perfect place to sell your products, launch new pieces, take bespoke or wholesale orders, meet your customers, build your database and grow your professional network.
