The Esplanade Market

Every Sunday since 1970, The Esplanade Market St Kilda has been the destination for those searching for something special, somewhere special.

Established as an outlet for local artists, there are now nearly 200 of Victoria’s best artists and craftspeople displaying and selling their work direct to the public.

One former Esplanade market artist is Academy Award ® winning director and animator, Adam Elliot. Adam sold his hand-painted t-shirts here for five years before embarking on his celebrated film career, and in 2003 won an Oscar for his short film “Harvie Krumpet”.

We remain a favourite destination with locals and tourists alike who appreciate the diverse and unique range of quality handmade artworks made from wood, glass, paper, resin, recycled materials and so much more. The various styles and types of art are collectable, functional, beautiful, original, and make great gifts.

The Esplanade Market St Kilda is where you have the opportunity to meet and chat directly with us, the makers.
