Madrone Art Bar presents…
FART MARKET: An Art Flea Market
Where art gets drafted into a new home.
FART MARKET is a two-month, community-driven exhibition inviting people to contribute artwork they’re ready to let go of. Throughout the exhibition, donated works will accumulate on the bar walls and then be rehomed during two Claim Draft Nights—a playful, draft-style experience inspired by fantasy football and sports drafts.
Think of it as a second chance for art that never quite made the starting lineup.
We all have pieces we bought or found years ago that never quite made it onto the wall—it’s time to let them go. We’re also welcoming working artists to donate older pieces they’ve finished storing, selling, or hanging onto. No pricing, no pressure—just a chance for art to be seen, appreciated, and chosen.
By donating, you’re helping create a constantly evolving exhibition—and giving someone else the joy of discovering a piece they didn’t know they were looking for.
Why Donate?
- -Clear space in your home without throwing art away
- -Watch your piece live on the wall before it’s drafted
- -Be part of a communal, slightly competitive, very fun experiment
- -Zero selling, zero transactions—just rehoming

Claim Draft Nights
Art meets fantasy-football energy.
Whether you donate artwork or not, we hope you’ll join us for one of our Claim Draft Nights.
At the end of each month, artwork will be claimed off the walls in draft-style rounds, with participants taking turns selecting pieces—just like a fantasy draft, but with art instead of athletes.
- March 5 (6–8pm) — Draft Night #1
- April 9 (6–8pm) — Final Draft Night
Come watch, cheer, strategize, or draft your own future wall favorite.
