Collaborate

Collaborate with Pasifika Treasures

Pasifika Treasures exists to give Pacific and multicultural creatives a place to be seen, valued and paid. If you make art, design fabric, create digital illustrations, craft jewellery, or you hold cultural knowledge that can be shared respectfully, we’d love to explore a collaboration with you.

Who collaboration is for

We welcome enquiries from:

  • Pasifika and Māori artists, makers and designers
  • Multicultural creatives living in Australia who align with our kaupapa
  • Emerging youth artists wanting a first platform
  • Elders or culture-holders wanting to document motifs, patterns or stories
  • Community groups who want to sell items through our store

What we can create together

Every partnership is slightly different. Some collaborators come with finished artwork. Others come with an idea and need help preparing it for print or digital download. Together we can create:

  • Limited-edition art or fabric drops
  • Print-on-demand T-shirts or merch with your art
  • Digital affirmation or wellbeing cards
  • Workshop or festival-themed collections
  • Culturally grounded, Pasifika-inspired products

Why collaborate?

Our goal is to keep Pasifika and multicultural creativity visible in the marketplace – not just on social media. We already have an audience through Pasifika Families Inc., Pasifika Vibes Festival, and our community programs, so your work doesn’t sit unseen. Collaboration also supports economic participation: makers can earn from their creativity while staying connected to culture.

How the process works

  • 1. Send an enquiry – use the form below to tell us who you are and what you make.
  • 2. We review your idea – we look at fit (cultural, quality, practicality, audience).
  • 3. We agree the format – stocked item, print-on-demand, or digital download.
  • 4. We confirm pricing & revenue share – fair, transparent and written down.
  • 5. We publish & promote – your item appears in the Artist Collaborations section of the store.

Note: submitting a collaboration enquiry does not guarantee inclusion. We sometimes schedule releases to match festivals, campaigns or seasons.

What to include in your enquiry

To speed things up, please include:

  • Your full name and where you are based
  • A short bio (cultural background, practice, community links)
  • What you want to collaborate on (fabric, artwork, digital, merch, other)
  • Whether you need us to handle printing/fulfilment
  • Links to photos or examples of your work

If you already have a finished artwork and just want us to sell it as a digital download, please also read: Digital Licensing (usage rights for downloads).

Submit your collaboration idea

You can use the form on this page, or email us directly at collaborate@pasifikafamilies.org.au. If you are submitting on behalf of a youth or community group, please tell us so we can offer the right support.

We prioritise collaborations that are culturally respectful, community-benefiting, and aligned with the vision of Pasifika Families Inc.
