Curators are lucky people. Not only do they live their lives surrounded by beautiful things and host frequent exhibition openings with free cask wine, but they also get first dibs on the artworks being displayed. Excuse me for getting all red in your inbox, but wouldn't the world be a better place if some of this vast cultural wealth could be shared with the common proletariat?

Hustle over to one of the best kept secrets on Bourke Street - a mysterious shop front bearing the initials CA. It's not the headquarters for the Communists of Australia. It's Courtesy of the Artist, an aesthetically delightful shop stocked with a diverse collection of limited-edition ceramics, homewares, jewellery and glass from over 50 designers. Run by the same folks as the Metalab studio up the road, CA also carries selected exhibition pieces from the featured works at the Metalab gallery so you too can get your mitts on items never destined for the Ikea shelves.
