Merry Ugly 2026
Crown Conference Centre, Level 2, Crown Promenade
Merry Ugly is a two-day Melbourne art market bringing together more than 130 independent artists and makers under one roof at Crown Conference Centre.
Visitors can discover original art, small-batch objects, handmade characters, ceramics, accessories and unexpected gifts from Melbourne and overseas. Several participating artists are exhibiting in Melbourne for the first time, offering a rare chance to meet the people behind the work and find pieces not usually available locally. Every entry includes an Ugly Cutie tote bag.
Visitors can also enjoy a free photo booth and pin exchange, complimentary gift wrapping, special artist activities including Do-It-Yourself Daisy's walk-in bag charm station, and a quieter entry option for visitors who prefer a lower-sensory experience. Merry Ugly is designed for people who love art with personality, thoughtful handmade gifts and meeting independent creators.
