What to Expect
The Pop-Up Shop
Monster Market is a curated pop-up shop, so we’ve already done the work of sniffing out the best and weirdest art around and sourcing it directly from artists.
We collect work from our Makers and arrange it into one big, bizarre, ultra-shoppable store for you to shop in October.

About the Venue
Medicine Factory | 85 Virginia Ave W | Downtown Memphis, TN
Monster Market 2024 will be held at Medicine Factory! This gorgeous building was built in 1912 as the McConnon & Co Medicine Mfg. Medicine Factory. Nearly a century later, the Medicine Factory artspace was established in the building by 3 local Memphis artists as an experimental art gallery focusing on installation-based works. The first floor houses a massive gallery and event space, while the upper floor has art studios for working artists.
