44 – 60 Gouger St, Adelaide SA 5000
Art Opportunities
The iconic Adelaide Central Market will welcome over 50 new traders to their community, when the Market expansion opens later this year. The expansion will not only enhance the Market experience through greater variety, quality, and innovation but also celebrate the very best of South Australian produce and craftsmanship. The Market will serve as a renewed hub for culture, creativity, and community – where locals and visitors alike can come together in an environment that truly reflects the vibrant spirit of our state.
 
As the Market enters this exciting new chapter, the Adelaide Central Market Authority (ACMA) is seeking artists and creative teams to deliver four murals that will resonate with the Market community.
