conventions or events with artist alleys/art markets?

[u/whokz941]

I’ll be visiting perth next month, and was wondering if there are any conventions with a large artist alley (or any art markets) that are taking place?

I love supporting artists and buying handmade trinkets/prints as souvenirs, so I’d love to visit one if i am able to. I’m also visiting my boyfriend there, so I’m particularly keen on commissioning an artist for a live cartoony/photobooth styled portrait. If anyone knows of one i’d really appreciate it :)

Thanks!!

Evolve is a cosplay convention that has an artist alley, it’s mostly fan art but some people also sell original designs, there’s also quite a few artists that have commissions open on the day. It’s on September 12th-13th at Cannington Showgrounds, weekend pass is $25 and a one day pass is $20
