About Us

The Market Record at Preston Market was made by Dan Koop & Katerina Kokkinos-Kennedy and proudly supported by the Darebin City Council’s FUSE Fund Program.

The Market Record was initially developed in 2020 with Jamie Lewis, with the support of the South Melbourne Market and the City of Port Phillip.
