Ugly Cutie Art Market returns with Merry Ugly – a playful, slightly unconventional take on the festive season.
Across two days, discover over 130 local and international artists, designers and independent makers bringing together original art, handmade objects, ceramics, jewellery, illustration, accessories, art toys and plenty of wonderfully unusual creations.
More than a place to shop, Ugly Cutie is designed as a creative gathering where visitors can meet the artists behind the work, discover emerging talent and experience art in a more playful way.
Expect interactive installations, a free photo booth, pin trading, gift wrapping and other little surprises throughout the weekend.
Whether you’re searching for an unexpected Christmas gift, discovering your next favourite artist, or simply looking for something fun to do in Melbourne, come for the art and stay for the fun.
