* Why is Finders Keepers now asking for a gold coin donation?
This Melbourne Markets we have been able to offer our biggest and best market yet, and have seen phenomenal growth over the past 3 years in Melbourne.
With this growth means our event expenses have risen significantly and its not sustainable for us to offer our events free anymore.
We offer an amazing line up of design, art, music and now food – much like that of a festival, but we only ask for a gold coin donation so we can continue to grow and bring you these fantastic events in the future.
To help us to continue to encourage young independent designers in Australia, we kindly ask for the donation which allows us to continue to grow FK, and keep our stall fees at a reasonable pricing to help attract the very best of young emerging design. We are now offering ‘debut’ stalls which are sponsored by us, as opportunities for designers to get their work out there for a discounted stall fee.
Finders Keepers has always maintained we are a ‘profit for purpose’ which means basically all our event dollars go back purely into our events. We love what we do, and for 5 years have happily been able to offer our events for FREE but as you can understand after years of amazing growth, we can’t continue to do that and offer our support at the level we have.”
