And on Sunday 6 September Unwrapped will ‘neighbour’ The Markets in the Cultural Centre Precinct.

In addition to these 2 event full days our very own on site Tango dance club will be making its impromptu debut on the Saturday while emerging Design students from Central College of TAFE will make their second appearance over the weekend. We are also in discussions with another dance troupe for Sunday. This weekend promises to be a big one.

As part of the Perth Fashion Festival, The Markets @ Perth Cultural Centre is launching their niche ‘market bazaar’ sites together with themed weekends for new and emerging designers and artists to retail their creative talents in a prestigious environment at a low cost.

Each weekend 7 separate marquees will be erected individually in the main walkway centre of The Markets with three sides available in each for rental at $25 per side. Each side will accommodate one 2.5 metre table or two smaller 1.2 m tables generally retailing at just under $50 each.

Each marquee will therefore accommodate 3 small designer businesses with a total of 21 centralised ‘Market Bazaar’ sites available in the main ‘Triazza’ between the Art Gallery, the State Library and the Museum, commencing on the weekend of The Perth Fashion Festival. Pedestrians and shoppers will find themselves drawn into The Market’s Bazaar alleyways to find Perth’s designer and creative gems. These sites are only available to retailers of locally designed and made creative items.

And on the 3rd weekend of every month The Markets will feature handmade artisan and designer wares , with promotion targeted to the exclusive shopper and tourists in Perth, whilst the 1st weekend of every month has been earmarked for handmade clothes, toys, books and entertainment for the ‘Young at Heart’.

Every weekend our Market Bazaar alleyways will form the centrepiece for handmade uniquely designed time intensive fashion, arts, jewellery, giftware, bags, makeup, and more. Multicultural Fun and Living the Green Life feature as our themes for the 2nd and 4th weekends respectively. Delicious foods, Bollywood dancing, environmental products, are just part of what will be appearing and expanding as Spring springs into our lives.

If you are interested in exploring our emerging platform for the promotion and retail of Perth’s creative talent from our city’s cultural precinct then please contact me at manager@theperthmarkets.com.au or on 0405 900 162.
