Who is Kings Heath Art Market for?
The Art Market is intended as a showcase and selling opportunity for the many artists living in and around the Kings Heath and wider South Birmingham area. All 2D and 3D artforms are welcome, including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, drawing, printing etc. The Market will be curated to feature a combination of artists and styles. We are seeking to show a varied balance of artforms and so may not always be able to accommodate your work on a particular occasion. We want to be able to differentiate ourselves from other similar local markets.
The best thing to do is relax and enjoy the market. There is very little that can go wrong.
The Market is open from 12:00 till 4:00 on the third Saturday of the month except January and February. Stallholders have access from 11:00 to the car park to the right of the Centre.
The stallholders’ fee is £14. The Market is free to the public.

What to bring?
- It is a good idea to provide a table cloth of some sort to make the most of displaying your work.
- You can lay your work flat or you might want to raise some areas of the table to enhance your display.
- If your work is delicate make sure it is secure.
- You may want to have some way of indicating the price of your work. This might be stickers or labels attached to your pieces or you may display a price list.

Identify yourself
Some people have cards on their table or a little sign saying who they are. Name and face recognition are important.
Payment
There are some people who live a cashless life so at some point you may decide you need a card reader. Wifi is available in the hall and there is a good phone signal. It is a good idea to have a float of cash so that you can give change. There are a number of cash-points nearby.
Get-out
The market is run by a small group of volunteers so we ask for your help in clearing the room and returning your tables before you leave.
