SEE + EXPERIENCE
Delightful Art
Anna’s always LOVED the Carnival of Flowers and is going to bring the garden of her dreams INSIDE in this colourful collection of originals and prints.
Where do the ideas come from? Anna will also be sharing her favourite artists and inspiration.
Turkey Smugglers
Quite simply, they’re boardshorts for men who are bigger than.
Need a gift for your man, your dad, your brother, your mate? Problem solvered. An idea 7 years in the making (it’s a good story!) will be launched at right here at the Ideas Show.
Linens + Homewares
There are no limitations! Pick up a beautiful Art Tea Towel while you’re at the Ideas Show. Wrap with it, use it as a table topper, even frame it if you like – it just might be TOO GOOD to wipe the dishes with.
There will be a selection of gifts and homewares you’ll love.
Collaborations
From wallpaper to wine, syrups to gins, steak rub to sodas and soaps… discover the wonderful, and sometimes surprising, collaborations that pop up when an artist has an idea attack and other people are happy to get on board.
