This is a pre-Christmas Art Market at Eyebrights’ beautiful Gardens.
We intend to make this an Annual Celebration of the Nelson Arts, to show and sell amazing, creative arts made by our local artists and to bring our community together before Christmas. This is a special market for everyone to buy some very special gifts.

There will be music and food stalls, and a selected variety of arts for this boutique-style market in the perfect environment of Eyebright’s colourful gardens, and as a bonus, you can still visit the guinea pigs at Wendelton!

There is also an opportunity for people (of all ages) to explore their creativity in our Have-a-Go Stall. Here you can create your own masterpiece on canvas for just $10! This could be that very special Christmas gift or the start of a new hobby!

Proceeds from the market stalls will be donated to ‘I am Hope’ charity (this does not apply to the sale of the arts), as we aim to also help others in the wider community.
The response to the concept of the Art Market has been fantastic. At this stage, we have 20 stallholders, with a mix of arts such as paintings, carving (wood and greenstone), woodwork, metal arts, glass and ceramics, jewellery, harakeke, garments and much more!
