Brisbane Autumn/Winter Markets wrap up!

Finders Keepers — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 00:01:39 +0000

A few weeks ago we held our 2nd Finders Keepers markets in Brisbane at The Old Museum. Representing over 50 designers spanning over two rooms and looking out to the Old Museum garden. Featuring artists & designers both from Brisbane and all around Australia, and a great line up of live local musicians at our garden stage. It was a beautiful warm winter weekend and we were so happy with the outcome!

Once again we had an amazing response with crowds pouring in over the Saturday & Sunday and we are very fortunate to have such a supportive community already commited to the Finders Keepers!

The designers & artists featured did an impressive job with beautiful inspiring displays and work and we thank them for all of the effort they made, well done! Don’t forget you can still check out their profiles here.

We couldn’t have done it without some amazing help at hand. Firstly thank you to The Old Museum for having us again! Our friends at Publissimo for helping with ongoing publicity support and features leading up to the markets. Thank you to our very amazing Brisbane Co-ordinator Alischa and her fantastic partner Hayden for all of their hard work! Thank you to the girls behind the wonderful music – Lara, Tallulah & Frances! Thank you to Kathy and her team at Powerhouse Coffee and to all our helpers with the preparation – Frankie, Tanya, Nina & Kylie.

Big thanks to our media supporter Frankie Magazine and also to Udessi, Leeloo & Fourthousand also for their ongoing support!
