Artisan Collects - Malki Studio
About the Project
An opportunity for Malki Studio’s to gain exposure to new audiences and clientele was presented with an invitation to showcase artworks at Artisan Collects. This highly sought-after retail space is in a prime position on King Street Brisbane, and boasts an impressive repertoire of artists, patrons, and customers. Featuring at Artisan Collects provided a platform for career development, connecting with peers and industry professionals, and increase brand exposure within a lucrative and prominent market segment.
Artisan Collects is a new venture that aims to introduce artworks to new audiences and clientele, with the intention of enticing Artisan’s customers to become art collectors. We are honoured to be regional artists who have been selected for the first feature of Artisan Collects, making this opportunity a great milestone in our career as Malki Studio

Audience Feedback
"I can say that it certainly drew much attraction from visitors, both those passing by the outside window and those inside the store. People were very fascinated by the works, having not seen jewellery quite like it before." Max Bubb - Artisan Store
