A stall built for the way you work.
We're looking for neurodivergent makers, artists and small businesses for our first Gathered Things market in Penrith, 2025. If you make something you're proud of — we want to hear from you.
WHY APPLYWhat makes Gathered Things different for makers.
A community that gets it
Every maker at Gathered Things is part of the neurodivergent community. You won't need to explain yourself. You won't be the odd one out. This is a market where different is the whole point.
Accessible stall fees
We've kept stall fees as low as we possibly can. We believe the cost of showing up shouldn't stop you from doing it.
Online beyond the day
When our online platform launches, Gathered Things market stallholders get first access. The relationship doesn't end when the market does.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWho we’re looking for.
We're open to makers across all creative disciplines — there's no single aesthetic we're chasing. What we look for is genuine craft and care.

Type, lettering and print
Jewellery and accessories

MAKER FAQCommon questions.
Q: Do I need to be formally diagnosed as neurodivergent to apply?
A: No. We ask that you self-identify as neurodivergent — diagnosis is not required and is never asked for. We trust you.
Q: Can I apply if I've never done a market before?
A: Absolutely. First-timers are welcome. We'll support you through the process.
Q: What if I need accommodations on the day?
A: Tell us in your application and we'll do everything we can to make sure your stall works for you — whether that's a quieter location, extra time for bump-in, or something else entirely.
Q: Can I share a stall with another maker?
A: Yes — shared stalls are welcome. Please note this in your application and provide details for both makers.
Q: When will I hear back?
A: We aim to respond to all applications within two weeks of receiving them.
Q: What happens to my application if I'm not accepted for this market?
A: We'll keep your details and consider you for future markets. We'll always let you know either way — no one gets left hanging.
