We are huge fans of Finders Keepers – the markets they’ve held in Melbourne have been spectacular, and really inspiring.

The next event in Sydney is coming up this weekend, and everyone should go check it out – go for the afternoon, browse around, eat, drink, listen to music, and enjoy!

Oh, and here’s a small treat for you – we weren’t able at the time to post the photos we took at the last Melbourne Finders Keepers, so we’ve uploaded them so you can get an idea of what this really cool event is like!

“The Finders Keepers are design and art markets dedicated in supporting emerging designers, artists & musicians and bringing new contemporary design to the forefront in Australia.

We are a bi-annual event which started in 2008 in Sydney and also launched in 2009 in Brisbane, and then in Melbourne in 2010. Our market events are set over two days and over these days we represent designers from all around Australia, and hope to continue to grow and support Australia through our events. We help promote original work with high quality standards, we believe were helping to create a benchmark in Australian design.

The Finders Keepers also features live music from emerging local musicians and we re-create a festival type feel with a bar and café. Our events are free for the public and we encourage locally produced handmade product and other ethical design principles. It is important to us to support Australian made, but also for designers to develop their small businesses to full time ventures.

Our aim was to create a platform for emerging designers, artists & musicians to showcase their work in a supportive and creative atmosphere.”
