The Homeless Period Belfast distributes period care packs to a wide range of people in need - from rough sleepers and the homeless to people who depend on food banks, refugees and asylum seekers to teenagers living in poverty and community youth groups.
Trademarket will now be providing free sanitary products in their toilets to join in the battle against period poverty in Northern Ireland.
Emily Doherty, organiser of the event, told Belfast Live: "Trademarket has organised this event and these are kind events we want to continue to do in our space.
"We organised this event with Wee Nuls to showcase and support local talent and use our space to be as creative as possible. We intend on talking to those who attend about Homeless Period Belfast and going forward we will be providing period products in all bathrooms.
"We are supported by the local gin company Boatyard as the Wednesday, October 19 is National Gin and Tonic Day."
During Wednesday's event, you will paint your own canvas to bring home and you will receive two Boatyard serves and two Boatyard cocktails.
