Handmade festive markets return to Mulgrave area
The Monash Community Arts Society (MONCAS) will be bringing their Festive Gifts Exhibition and Sale to the Mulgrave area and wider Monash community for the fourth year in a row.
Inspired by traditional Christmas markets, the 10 day bazaar celebrates the talents of local artists, artisans and crafters.
Launched in 2021, the MONCAS Festive Gifts market seeks to bring together the local arts and crafts community for an end of year tribute to creativity, community and holiday joy. Artists will have the chance to showcase their work and their artistic process, connect with fellow artists and celebrate the year’s end. Attendees can explore the wide range of handmade gifts available to purchase, strike up conversation with artists and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
Local craft fairs like this one are often an important opportunity for professional artists and craftspeople running their own small businesses to promote their products to new audiences. They may turn to print shops to purchase branded packaging, signage and business cards to display at market stalls and build brand recognition with new customers.
The MONCAS Festive Gifts Exhibition & Sale will be held at The Track Gallery in nearby Mount Waverley, with opening celebrations taking place at 6 pm on Thursday, November 27. The markets will be open to the public from 4 pm to 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am to 2 pm Saturday and Sunday for 10 days, from 27 November until 6 December.
