the initiative will involve clients from the melbourne citymission’s youth enterprise project to collaborate on a design project and then sell the result at the market to raise funds.
participants will start with a screen printing workshop hosted by textile design and retail group spacecraft and produce t-shirts.
market manager elizabeth collins says the response has been fantastic.
“as the original design market we are now linked with the city’s oldest charity,” she says.
“it has been a move welcomed by our many stall holders who also feel that our combined creative energy can be channeled into projects to improve the lives of many in our community.”
melbourne citymission ceo ric holland is delighted with the partnership.
“melbourne design market has provided us with a great opportunity to launch our major fund raiser buy a day, which represents 24 hours in the vital work of melbourne citymission. it’s wonderful to have the support of so many creative people.”
