Meeanjin Markets

A participatory evaluation of a bi-annual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural event

The Meeanjin Markets is a biannual Brisbane showcase of Aboriginal arts, crafts and culture, run by the South East Queensland Indigenous Chamber of Commerce.  Outpost Consulting was asked to come on board to assist the markets to grow, become more financially sustainable and increase its impact for local Indigenous businesses and their communities.

We collect data during and after each event through surveys,  interviews and case studies.  The markets team use the evaluation reports to address areas that need improvement and pick up on opportunities to grow the event and improve the visitor and stallholder experience.  The evaluation is also used to demonstrate outcomes to funders and sponsors.
