Made On The Left: finders keepers

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!

Who do you want to be when you grow up?

Well we want to be like Finders Keepers. An awesome, super-organised, frankie-sponsored indie design market held over in the eastern states. They're got a great opportunity/comp for all you visual artists, we suggest you have a crack at it!

Currently under the working title ON THE WALL, the artworks will be displayed at CarriageWorks within the foyer for the duration of the Sydney markets and will celebrate Leeloo’s ongoing mission to support independent Australian artists. Artwork will be for sale during the exhibition and there may be the possibility of selling prints of the artworks also.
