About The Thrift Showcase Grant
Thrift Fest offers a Showcase Grant that champions the next generation of designers. This grant seeks to recognise and promote original and high-quality work that pushes the boundaries of creativity and innovation.
This grant is eligible only to recipients that meet our requirements, most notably, that you have yet to showcase at Thrift Fest and have a business registered for under 3 years of operation. This grant entitles you to a physical space complete with basic amenities at a heavily subsidised rate for one event, along with social media marketing, callouts in press materials, and mentorship from our curatorial team.
Let us help you reach thousands of ready shoppers in a thriving commercial environment so you can foster awareness of your brand, forge deeper connections with potential customers and the small business community, and receive essential feedback from engaged customers.
