THE Beaufort Street Art Market has been approved to run until the end of next year following a successful trial.

Lesley Thomas from the Beaufort Street Network said on the first day of the market “several businesses reported an increase in trade”. Despite rough weather she said it was a good turnout: one artist selling wares from a suitcase sold more than $700 of product. She says it’s the first open air art market in town and it’ll run the first Sunday of the month on Barlee Street.
