RMIT Students & Alumni Makers Market Brunswick

RMIT University will stage its Students and Alumni Makers Market at the Brunswick campus on Sunday, August 9, 2026, as part of the university’s Open Day program. The free event is scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in The Hanger, Building 516 Level 2, according to RMIT’s event listing. Time Out Melbourne has also listed the market in its weekly and weekend guides, directing readers to RMIT for registration. The market will bring together 20 student and alumni makers, RMIT said, with stalls focused on original fashion, textiles, accessories and other creative products made by members of the RMIT community. The event sits within RMIT Open Day at Brunswick, which the university says is one of the campuses open to visitors on August 9. ### Where exactly is the market being held? (rmit.edu.au) The Hanger at RMIT Brunswick Campus is the listed venue for the market, with RMIT specifying Building 516, Level 2 on its event page. The university’s Brunswick campus page says the site is about six kilometres north of central Melbourne and part of the Sydney Road district. RMIT’s Open Day page says Brunswick and Melbourne City will both host Open Day activities on Sunday, August 9, 2026, while Bundoora’s program took place a week earlier on August 2. (rmit.edu.au) That places the makers market inside a wider day of campus tours and public-facing events rather than as a standalone fair. ### What will visitors actually find at the stalls? RMIT says the market will showcase “original fashion, textiles, accessories and creative products” designed and produced by students and alumni. (rmit.edu.au) The university has framed the event as a chance for visitors to browse work made by members of its creative community. An RMIT alumni feature published ahead of the event named some of the participating makers and described what they planned to bring. (rmit.edu.au) Lena Rowe, who works under the name Processual, said she would bring lamps made from kombucha and graduate fashion pieces. The same RMIT story said other alumni stallholders included creatives whose work spans fashion and design. (rmit.edu.au) Fashion Journal, which also listed the event in July, said visitors would be able to browse stalls from 20 RMIT students and alumni across fashion, textiles, accessories and other creative products. That description matches the categories published by RMIT and Time Out. ### Is this only for RMIT students and alumni? RMIT’s Open Day listing presents the market as part of a public-facing campus event rather than a closed university function. (rmit.edu.au) Time Out Melbourne’s listing describes it as a Sunday event at RMIT’s Brunswick campus and tells readers to visit RMIT’s website to learn more and register for Open Day. (fashionjournal.com.au) The event page marks the market as free. RMIT’s broader Open Day page invites prospective students and visitors to attend activities across its campuses during August. ### Why is RMIT linking the market to Open Day? RMIT has explicitly tied the makers market to its Brunswick Open Day program in both the event listing and its alumni coverage. (timeout.com) The university said the market would feature work designed and produced by members of the RMIT community, linking the stalls to the courses and creative disciplines taught at Brunswick. (rmit.edu.au) The Brunswick campus is one of RMIT’s specialist sites for design and related creative study areas, according to the university’s campus information. By placing the market there on Open Day, RMIT is presenting student and alumni work alongside campus access for prospective visitors. ### Where can people register or get more information? (rmit.edu.au) Time Out Melbourne’s current listings send readers to RMIT’s website for more information and Open Day registration. RMIT’s Open Day page says the Brunswick campus program is on Sunday, August 9, and the dedicated event page carries the time, venue and free-entry details for the Students and Alumni Makers Market. (rmit.edu.au) Sunday’s market is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. at The Hanger, Building 516 Level 2, on the RMIT Brunswick campus, according to the university’s event listing.
