Nothing signals the start of summer more than a bustling market on a balmy night.  And what’s a better way to ring in the glorious weather and celebrate the extended hours of daylight than by supporting local creatives, bagging a bargain, and seeing some neat artwork?  Nothing, that’s what!

Happenstance magazine is proud & excited about joining forces with the Finders Keepers to present some of Sydney’s most exciting emerging artists in a fun, market-style atmosphere. We call it the Art Mill.

The Finders Keepers is an independent art & design initiative supporting new & emerging creatives (just like Happenstance!), and their second annual markets hit Sydney this Friday 2 December.  With items on sale ranging from fashion & accessories, books & zines, textiles & homewares to arts & crafts (amongst a whole host more), it’ll be a great opportunity to bag a one-off find while supporting talented creative folk from your own ‘hood.

Pop by the two gallery areas of the Art Mill and say hello to us, while ogling some great artwork from artists like Ben Ali Ong, Lang Leav, Matt Huynh, Rebecca Murphy, Renee Anne and a whole heap more.  (See the full list of lovely featured artists here!)

The Finders Keepers Sydney markets open Friday 2 December from 6pm to 8pm, and will run from 10am to 8pm on Saturday 3 December at The Carriageworks, 245 Wilson Street, Eveleigh.  Click here for more details and a nifty map, & come along with your friends!
