About · The Fair Deal

Not your quiet art fair

FAIRPLAY started in 2023 as twelve artists and a borrowed car park. Four years on, it's a three-day fair where you can buy an original print, add a stroke to a 30-metre mural, pull your own screen-print, then dance about it. Same rule as day one: every artist pays one flat fee and keeps every single dollar they make.

"My kids made a cardboard castle bigger than our car. Logistics were a problem."

Got Questions?

Questions, answered

Where exactly is Wharf Shed 4 located?

Wharf Shed 4 is on the riverfront in Brisbane, just a two-minute stroll from the main ferry terminal. There are ample bike racks at the north entry and several paid parking structures within walking distance.

Do I need a ticket to enter the Artist Market?

Yes. A Day Pass or Weekend Pass grants you access to all 220 market stalls, the Open Gallery, Main Stage talks, and the DIY screen-print lab. Workshops require a small add-on seat reservation.

Can I bring kids and strollers?

Absolutely! Children aged 11 and under receive 100% free admission when accompanied by any ticketed adult. Our Little Artists cardboard construction zone runs throughout the weekend.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Yes. Wharf Shed 4 features level, step-free concrete access throughout all aisles, dedicated accessible restrooms, and a sensory quiet room. Sunday from 10:00 to 11:00 AM is our official low-sensory hour.

What is your ticket refund and transfer policy?

We provide 100% full refunds up to 14 days before the festival begins. You may also transfer your ticket name to any friend or family member for free up to 7 days prior to opening.

Do artists accept credit cards or cash?

Nearly 98% of artists accept contactless tap-to-pay and credit cards via Square. A few cash-preferred indie zine creators will be clearly designated on our event map.

Are there age restrictions for the Night Fair?

The Night Fair is all-ages from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. After 9:00 PM, entry requires photo ID (18+) as craft brewery and cocktail bar service expands throughout the venue.

How do I apply for an artist stall?

Applications close strictly on 10 December. Our jury reviews all submissions and notifies accepted exhibitors by 20 December. 30% of stalls are randomly drawn for first-time applicants.
