Undercurrent Design Market is The Curatoreum's annual celebration of all things Australian craft and design. Every year, thousands of Canberrans converge on this market to support the designers, makers, and artists who join us to showcase their work across a vast range of mediums from ceramics, glass, jewellery and object, textiles, fashion, and more. This year Undercurrent is moving on from its old home at the National Portrait Gallery, and is taking place at Canberra's creative precinct of Dairy Road.
Opening Hours | Friday 5pm – 8pm | Saturday 10am – 5pm | Sunday 10am – 5pm
Entry to this market is free | No bookings required

The Curatoreum: /kjʊˈreɪ.tər ri.əm/ noun, an expansive collection of desirable mixed, sifted and selected books and objects organised by experts in a thoughtful and inspiring way in anticipation of amusement and delight for the curious partaker.
The Curatoreum is an independent bookshop. We have two stores in Canberra, at the National Arboretum and the National Portrait Gallery.
At The Curatoreum we support Australian publishers, authors and artists. We specialise in art, botany, design and photography and offer an extensive range of biography, history, literature and children’s picture books. We are constantly expanding our range by accessing the international book trade, importing publications from overseas on a weekly basis and tracking down hard to find and obscure titles. The Curatoreum’s two unique locations are ideal for presenting the best of Canberra’s creative talent. We source jewellery, art and design from local and national makers and craftspeople with gifts and the home in mind.
