Coinciding with NAIDOC week, there’s 20 First Nations-owned businesses appearing on the line-up this year, including Clothing the Gaps, Russi Tiwi Art, Haus of Dizzy, Kinya Lerkk, Emma Stenhouse Art, Gammin Threads and Deadly Wears.

Founded in the summer of 2008 by young designers and friends Brooke Johnston and Sarah Thornton, The Finders Keepers Market is a creative and supportive environment for independent designers to sell their work. Since then, they’ve expanded across Australia, hosting markets in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
