The Brainery Store – The Saturday Edition

Overview

Everyone knows it's cool to be a nerd again. Thick-rimmed glasses, bulky knits and fully-buttoned shirts are basically the Melbourne uniform at this point, and more and more people are wishing they paid better attention at high school or uni. Enter The Brainery Store: a smart and fashionable group of creatives bringing innovation and inspiration to the masses (via the less than popular medium of the lecture).

The Brainery Store is known for offering unique hour-long sessions with some of Australia's best. Designers such as Sibling and Stephanie Somebody, publishers like Nick and Caroline Shelton of Broadsheet, and musicians such as Lisa Mitchell have all graced the Brainery stage. But in The Saturday Edition, we're being treated to a one-off smorgasbord of talent.

From 11am-4.30pm, Dumbo Feather HQ in St Kilda will be filled with the ideas of Koori elder, musician and actor Uncle Jack Charles, author Kate Holden, journalist and teacher Jacqueline Lesage, and famed illustrator Oslo Davis. Symptomatic of their constant support of local business, The Brainery Store will also be providing a big lunch from Fig&Salt, drinks from Little Creatures and Cake Wines and a goodie bag filled with beautiful surprises.

Good food, gorgeous company and great ideas? It's official: learning is cool again.
