DIY Art Market is an open submission event, with preference given to applicants who are actively creating new works, or are taking new, experimental approaches in their practice. We aspire to find the right balance of new, and returning exhibitors, while prioritising emerging, and underrepresented artists.
Exhibitors based outside of the UK are welcome to apply, and successful applicants will be contacted within a week.
Unfortunately we are unable to notify unsuccessful applicants.
Please do not apply more than once, or email about your application.
DIY Art Market champions a diverse community of artists, and independent publishers, providing visitors the opportunity to engage directly with artists, and discover a broad selection of affordable artwork.
Founded in 2014, DIY Art Market is an accessible platform for both established, and early-career artists who work across diverse creative fields.
Each event is an experiment in bringing together emerging directions, and diverse legacies, showcasing an international community of artists, publishers, designers, illustrators, current students, up-and-coming graduates, studios, collectives, community organisations, and the untrained.
We offer an affordable space for artists to exhibit their work, engage with visitors, share experiences, opportunities, and sell their artwork.
DIY Art Market is a place where one can find ceramics, jewellery, zines, and comics, artist editions, limited multiples, sewn items, limited edition prints, and other original objects.
We are committed to making our events as welcoming as possible for all visitors, booking venues that are wheelchair accessible, and dog friendly.
Specific accessibility questions for any of our locations can be directed to us via email at:
diyartmarket@gmail.com
Parents: please be aware that aisles may get crowded especially in the later hours of the market, and it may be difficult to navigate with a stroller.
Take note that we do not censor or label our exhibitors’ work, and you may not consider some content suitable for children – please use your best judgment.
It is up to individual exhibitors as to how they will accept payments, but most will be able to accept credit and debit cards via mobile payment technology.
We do not employ volunteers, however we do have paid positions available on the day.
DIY Art Market receives extensive support from both local, and national press, and is regularly recommended by numerous online / printed publications as London’s go-to-destination to pick up artwork on a budget.
Feel free to email diyartmarket@gmail.com with any questions about the events, or press inquiries.
