報名墨爾本市集中探索當地藝術家的創意才華！(上篇) The Rose St. Artists' Market

如果大家想參加澳洲的藝術市集或擺攤的話我可以推薦這兩個地方。

If you want to participate in the Australian art market or set up a stall, I can recommend these two places.

上篇是介紹 The Rose St. Artists' Market 玫瑰藝術市集。

參加這個市集之前就已經有來這裡逛過，就立刻愛上這個地方。

The last article was an introduction to The Rose St. Artists' Market Rose Art Market.

I have been here before participating in this market, and I immediately fell in love with this place.

不同於別的市集，這裡的攤位是沒有賣食物，除了老闆自己開的餐館與頂樓酒吧。

The Rose St. Artists' Market 只會有手作工藝的產品或是自己設計的創作小物，對喜歡藝術想專程來逛逛的朋友非常適合。

Unlike other markets, the stalls here do not sell food, except for the restaurant and the top-floor bar opened by the owner himself.

The Rose St. Artists' Market will only have handmade products or small creations designed by yourself. It is very suitable for friends who like art and want to make a special trip to visit.

首先要參加這個市集可以在他們的官方網站上面報名：

First of all, to participate in this market, you can sign up on their official website:

https://www.rosestmarket.com.au/applynow

選單裡頭就可以選擇你要的方案，不過目前看來都是額滿了。

租金的價位落在65AUD~89AUD。看是選取哪種方案價錢都不一樣，詳情可以進入網站上看。

You can choose the plan you want in the menu, but it seems that they are all full.

The rental price falls between 65AUD~89AUD. Depending on which plan you choose, the price is different. For details, you can enter the website to see.

報名方式滿簡單的，一切都在電腦操作就可以了，有問題也可以寫信去問很快就會收到回覆。包括當時畢竟第一次參加是有寫信問了很多問題。

像是我的攤位位置和刷卡的問題，畢竟在澳洲很少人會用現金大部分都是用金融卡或信用卡付款，所以有一台刷卡機是比較方便的，可以跟主辦方租借事後再申請款項。

The registration method is very simple, everything can be operated on the computer, and if you have any questions, you can also write to ask and you will receive a reply soon. Including at that time, after all, I wrote letters and asked a lot of questions when I participated for the first time.

For example, the location of my booth and credit card issues. After all, few people in Australia use cash and most of them pay with debit cards or credit cards, so it is more convenient to have a credit card machine, and then apply for payment with the organizer afterwards.

我選的方案是一日方案，從來沒有參加過市集的我決定在這裡完成我來澳洲的其中一個目標。

The plan I chose was a one-day plan. Having never participated in a market, I decided to complete one of my goals in Australia here.

害怕遲到的我一大早八點就準時抵達，殊不知大門都還沒有打開，跟我們一起等待的還有兩個女生一樣是亞洲面孔。

Afraid of being late, I arrived on time at eight o'clock in the morning, but I didn't know that the gate hadn't been opened yet, and there were two girls waiting with us who were also Asian.

我很驚訝，因為之前來逛市集大多都是歐美的面孔幾乎沒有看到亞洲人，所以鼓起勇氣跟他們打招呼，發現他們也會說中文，雖然不是跟我來自於同一個國家，但也舒緩了我的緊張。

I was very surprised, because most of the faces in the market were European and American, and I hardly saw Asians, so I summoned up the courage to say hello to them, and found that they can also speak Chinese. Although they are not from the same country as me, they can also speak Chinese. Soothes my tension.

抵達之後與主辦方簡單的說了早安之後就去報到簽名，找到了自己的名字後發現還是不知道17這個區域是在哪裡，主辦方也很好心的帶領著我們到自己的位置。

After we arrived, we simply said good morning to the organizer, and then went to register and sign. After finding our name, we still didn’t know where the area 17 was. The organizer kindly led us to our location.

當時的我只有賣明信片所以產品也沒有很多。

At that time, I only sold postcards, so there were not many products.

市集的桌子和小木櫃是免費提供，如果自己有也可以自備。像我一樣沒有的人可以去倉庫拿取需要用的道具，最後結束後要記得還給主辦方。

The tables and small wooden cabinets in the market are provided free of charge, and you can bring your own if you have them. Those who don’t have one like me can go to the warehouse to get the props they need, and remember to return them to the organizer after the end.

道具齊全然後就可以開始擺上自己創作的商品了。After the props are complete, you can start to display your own creations.

正在寫一些小標語。Writing some small slogans.

包括還有我來自台灣也寫進去，想讓這裡的對台灣有更多的認識之外，當天我也做了一個小活動。

Including that I am from Taiwan is also included, in order to let people here know more about Taiwan, I also did a small activity that day.

那天送了很多張最能代表台灣的建築「台北101」明信片，左右鄰居也強迫送給他們，他們非常的nice人也很熱情，而且沒想到其實很多人都知道台北101，確實讓我滿驚訝的。

That day, I sent many postcards of "Taipei 101", the most representative building in Taiwan, and my neighbors forced me to give them to them. They are very nice and enthusiastic. I didn't expect many people to know about Taipei 101, which really surprised me.

也有一位在女生經過我的攤位時，先是愣了一下之後開始與她聊起天，原來她也是台灣人。她說她是疑惑這裡怎麼會出現台灣的101的插畫，覺得不可思議。聊了非常多，我也送了一張明信片給她，好喜歡這樣的交流和互動。

There was also a girl who was stunned for a while and then started chatting with her when she passed by my booth. It turned out that she is also Taiwanese. She said that she was wondering why the illustration of Taiwan 101 appeared here, and she found it incredible. We chatted a lot, and I also sent her a postcard. I really like this kind of communication and interaction.

正因為大部分都是講英文的客人，所以在我展示的明信片背後都有寫上簡短的英文介紹，希望能讓他們也能懂我的插畫的小故事。

Just because most of the guests are English-speaking, there are short English introductions written on the back of the postcards I show, hoping that they can also understand the short stories of my illustrations.

我得到的第一筆收入。

My first bazaar income.

當天也來了許多朋友，非常開心他們到場的支持。

其實我也不記得當天到底賣了多少張，只覺得參加這個活動得到的已經大過一切，非常好玩也有認識其他的創作者也得到了許多稱讚，這也成為了我依然做著自己喜歡的事情繼續畫下去的動力。

In fact, I don’t remember how many copies I sold that day. I just think that what I got from participating in this event was more than anything else. It was very fun and I got to know other creators and got a lot of compliments. This has also become a thing I still like to do. Motivation to keep drawing.

快到了尾聲，主辦方會走去每一個攤位問問今天好玩嗎？我只能說真的很值得來。

As the end is coming to an end, the organizer will go to each booth and ask if today is fun? I can only say that it is really worth coming.

參加市集也認識了不同的創作者，這個書籤就是一開始跟我們一起很早到的兩個女生所創作的木雕作品，我們互相交換禮物，主要作品是雕刻澳洲的建築或是具有特色的墨爾本電車。

Participating in the market also met different creators. This bookmark is a woodcarving work created by two girls who arrived early with us at the beginning. We exchanged gifts with each other. The main works are carvings of Australian buildings or distinctive Melbourne tram.

差不多下午四點就結束活動了，從早上10開始直到下午4點結束。結束後就是把東西歸位然後就可以直接離開了。很簡單的參加收穫愉快的結束。

The event ended at about four in the afternoon, starting at 10 in the morning and ending at 4 in the afternoon. When you're done, just put things back in their place and you can just leave. It's easy to join in and get a happy ending.
