OUR mission statement

MADE ON THE LEFT was founded in 2008 by independent designers to support Western Australian creative talent. We hold bi-annual handmade craft markets to showcase local designers.

Being on the left hand side of Australia no longer

means you'll be at a disadvantage.

Our aim is to support all creative designers and events showcasing independent labels. MOTL is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organisation. You may wonder why we promote other markets besides MOTL; it’s because it’s not about us, its about you; the buyers and sellers of indie wares. Here at the blog, you’ll discover up to date information about our latest market, the low-down on some of Perth’s emerging talents, other opportunities for artists and designers and a little bit of fun stuff too. It’s all right here… welcome!

Suitcase rummage



Suitcase Rummage is a mini scaled market without the hassle. Its about bringing a suitcase (or two!) filled to the brim with your goods and treats. You can be a part of the Rummage experience by selling wares e.g. vintage, artwork, bric-a-brac, clothing, books, jewellery, seconds, hand-made, shoes, records, music, badges, cards, handmade paper…you name it! You must register to sell your wares and you will then be contacted with further information.

The very first Suitcase Rummage in Western Australia will be a part of Midlandia – the Fringe Festival's Midland location in the beautiful old arts centre!

Midland Arts & Craft Market

Hey All, a quick note about the arrival of the Midland Arts & Craft Market.

In their words...

"Through the City of Swan, we are very keen to support new and emerging artists and designers and expose your creative talent to the people of the eastern region of Perth. A region that is ripe and waiting for your input.
The Midland Arts & Craft Market is a Community Project with the Rotary Club of Midland; and Rotary will be the group you interact with most if you want to be part of this exciting new monthly event on our cultural calendar.
Held the third Saturday of every month, the market is in the beautiful grounds of the Juniper Gardens, adjacent to the Midland Gate Shopping Centre, apartments, new restaurants and cafes – also on the doorstep of our arts centre.
If you would like to be involved in our arts programs come to the Midland Junction Arts Centre, or make a time with me to talk/meet/explore. We will be working hard to profile the various artists featured in the markets, which will include media releases, possible exhibition opportunities, production of promo material, and other ideas not yet thought of… I’m sure you’ll have the best ideas.
hope you will consider an adventure in the Swan region, and let us support your creative practice! "

Oppurtunity for Artist Run Initiative in Midland

Loretta from Artsource contatced us at MOTL about this:

Artsource have just taken over a building in Midland for artists studios – and there is also a ground floor former retail space that we would like to offer to creative projects. I thought you may be interested in the info – either for your collective or for other artists that may be looking for interesting spaces to sell and/or exhibit their work.

What do you think?

Junction Building, 1 Old Great Northern Highway, Midland.

75m2 space of street level frontage (formerly a retail space). $110/week.

Artists or artist run initiatives encouraged to apply for exhibition programs/gallery/retail activities.

The space needs to be run by and benefit Western Australian visual artists! A great opportunity for creative endeavours.
