Melbourne Ceramic Fair
Oct 17 & 18, 2026
We're heading back to Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre this October, and we'd love you to be part of it.
Since our first weekend on Smith Street back in 2019, this fair has grown into something we're genuinely proud of - a celebration of clay, craft and the makers who dedicate themselves to both.
Whether you're an emerging artist finding your feet or an established name in the Australian ceramics scene, we welcome applications from makers whose work is thoughtful, original and made with care. This is your community too — come be part of it.

OUR NEW
HOME!
An iconic location in the heart of Northcote
After a sell-out debut at Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre last year and with thousands of ceramic lovers through the doors over two incredible days, we're thrilled to be calling it home. Nestled in the heart of Melbourne's Northside, the hall is everything we want for this fair: iconic, welcoming, and perfectly placed for a weekend of discovery. Hop off the tram, grab a coffee, and lose yourself in some of the best contemporary ceramics Australia has to offer. We can't wait to do it all again - and we'd love you to be part of it.
Select your artist stall
Before applying, we encourage applicants to read our FAQs and Terms & Conditions. To help with the cost of your stall, we also offer flexible payment terms.
Melbourne Ceramic Fair is an indoor and outdoor market. We offer one and two-day stalls inside the hall, and one-day stalls in the hall courtyard nestled among our busy coffee and pastry vendors near the fair entrance.
Applications are open to artists Australia-wide and close May 15 at 5pm.
