About Arts Markets at MAC

A lively and influential fixture in Birmingham's creative calendar, MAC's Arts Markets showcase work by an outstanding mix of designers, makers and artists from across Birmingham and beyond.

Highly popular and well-loved, each market offers the chance to discover original contemporary artwork, handmade gifts, prints, ceramics, textiles, jewellery, homeware and much more – all directly from the talented people who create them.

Visitors can meet the people behind the work, hear their stories and browse an ever-changing selection of beautifully made products that can't be found on the high street.

With free entry for visitors, our Arts Markets take place regularly throughout the year at one of Brum's best-loved cultural venues, with stalls throughout MAC's bustling public foyer. 

In 2025, more than 20,000 visitors attended MAC's Arts Markets, reflecting their longstanding reputation as the go-to destination for high-quality independent art, craft and design.

Come and discover unique gifts and original pieces for every taste and budget. Every purchase directly supports the artists, designers and makers who help make Birmingham's creative community so vibrant.
