Our House's new marketplace: championing local artists and communities
As a creative hoping to make a living in the arts, it's hard to get a foot in the door, especially for those from underrepresented communities; that’s why with House of Hackney’s first marketplace, The Market Garden, we hope to nurture upcoming artists - to help them grow, create and inspire.
The first year is themed around The Year of The Garden.
We invite artists and makers to send submissions based on the flower as icon.
We want to give our platforms to fellow ‘gardeners’; people who plant seeds and inspire change through their creativity and purpose-led work, with the aim to leave the world a better place.
With 2 annual drops, works will be sold on houseofhackney.com and exhibited throughout our spaces.
From makers, painters and ceramicists to glass blowers and weavers, ours is a garden of inclusivity.
How to Apply
If you are interested in becoming a part of The Market Garden please send a short bio with your name and specialism in the subject line, along with 3 photos of your work (in JPEG or PNG format, max. 3MB) and any relevant links to:
themarketgarden@houseofhackney.com

House of Hackney’s London Flagship at St Michael’s opened its gothic doors in March 2022. Located 5 minutes from Old Street Station, and taking inspiration from its former life as a clergy house, the four-storey building is set up as a home with each room featuring an inspired edit of the collections for you to see, touch and feel.

If your existing seats are well-loved, but perhaps a little too well-worn, be it a sumptuous printed velvet or a smooth cotton-linen – can be enough to make you want to snuggle up on them all over again.
When it comes to furniture (which can also be a scene stealer in its own right), your choice will likely be dictated by the number of family members and friends who will regularly be hanging out here: will a cosy two-seater sofa be enough, or will you also need a chaise longue and a few ‘bottomans’ for your visitors to park their, um, bottoms on? If your existing seats are well-loved, but perhaps a little too well-worn, recovering them in a new fabric – be it a sumptuous printed velvet or a smooth cotton-linen – can be enough to make you want to snuggle up on them all over again.
A mantelpiece, if you’re lucky enough to have one, is even more worthy.
The last few pieces of the puzzle are the myriad layers and textures that make a space so inviting. Think a coffee table stacked with books and tactile cushions in an intriguing mix of shapes, sizes and patterns – all things which are easy to move around until you find a combination that appeals to you. A mantelpiece, if you’re lucky enough to have one, is even more swoon-worthy with the addition of eye-catching candelabras, hand-painted porcelain candle pots and treasured keepsakes you’ll have picked up on your travels.
