About Artist Alley: Melbourne’s Premier Creator Marketplace
Artist Alley Melbourne is a massive celebration of indie art, anime, and local creativity. Held in Melbourne, our event brings together up to 180 artists, makers, and small businesses for an immersive shopping and community experience unlike any other in Victoria.
What is Artist Alley?
We are more than just a market; we are a destination for fans of pop culture and handmade crafts. We transform a massive exhibition pavilion into a vibrant "alley" of discovery where you can meet the people behind the art.
Getting to Artist Alley:
Darebin Community Sports Stadium (DCSS) is conveniently located in Reservoir, just 12km north of Melbourne’s CBD, making it easy to reach from across the city.
From the CBD: Take the M2 (Eastern Freeway) or CityLink and connect to Bell Street (State Route 40) heading west. Continue along Bell Street until you reach Plenty Road, then follow signs into Reservoir and the DCSS precinct.
Parking: Free on-site parking is available at the venue, with additional street parking nearby. Please follow venue signage and staff directions when arriving to access the designated event parking areas.
While the stadium is easily accessible by car, it is also well connected by Melbourne’s public transport network.
Via Reservoir Station: Take the Mernda Line train from the CBD to Reservoir Station. From there, the stadium is a short bus ride or around a 15–20 minute walk.
Via Tram (Route 86): Take Tram Route 86 (Bundoora RMIT) along Plenty Road and disembark near the Reservoir area. The venue is a short walk from the tram line.
Plan Your Trip: We recommend using the PTV Journey Planner for the most up-to-date routes and schedules.
What You’ll Find at Artist Alley:
Melbourne is the cultural heart of Australia and its creative community is world-class. Artist Alley Melbourne was created to give these local talents a dedicated space to shine outside of the traditional comic-con circuit. We pride ourselves on being a creator-first event, ensuring our artists have a professional, high-traffic space to grow their brands.
