Bowerbird supports Australian artists, designers, makers and producers by connecting them to an enthusiastic South Australian audience looking for unique, beautiful hand-made, small run, Australian-designed products.
Bowerbird is the perfect place to sell your products, launch new collections, take bespoke and wholesale orders, meet customers, build a database and grow your professional network.
Bowerbird is South Australia’s leading design market. A curated three-day event held twice a year since 2009, Bowerbird celebrates high quality Australian design and workmanship, new ideas and innovation.
Attracting thousands of design-loving consumers each event, our established audience are passionate about supporting small production runs and the handmade.
Developed by designers and managed by event professionals, the Bowerbird team understands the needs of our vendors first-hand and provides support and professional development opportunities to maximise success.
An extensive marketing campaign builds awareness for your brand before the event begins.
Our online directory provides shoppers a lasting source of reference of your attendance. Many designers benefit from online sales for weeks and months after attending the event.

We invite Australian designers, makers and producers with high quality products and a professional approach to apply from SA or from interstate.
All products must be designed by you.
We look for quality workmanship, contemporary ideas and a cohesive range of products.
We also look for a high standard of presentation of your brand and products. This needs to be reflected through quality images provided on application, your online channels and your stall set up.
Each application is evaluated independently and in relation to the market as a whole. Factors such as frequency of participation, new products, variety of styles and price points across categories and current trends impact our final decision.
Emerging Artists: You can be considered in this lineup if you have been trading for less than 12 months, do not have stockists and you have never presented at Bowerbird before. Limited places available each event.
