Evolution @ Jull Street Markets - call out for youth stallholders

Armadale is having its first festival and you can be a part of this amazing event!

Armadale Youth Resources has teamed up with Made on the Left to enable young artists, fashion designers and craftspeople to be a part of the Evolution @ Jull Street event as part of the National Youth Week celebrations.

There will be a big youth arts, fashion and music festival in the Jull Street Mall precinct of Armadale, spilling out into the Armadale Train Station and Minnawarra park. It’s set to be a great night and will attract a huge crowd.

If you are an artist, craftsperson or fashionista under 30 years of age, you are invited to come and sell your goods.

You will get a marquee, a table for your products and a chair - all you need to do is bring your amazing creations!

Best of all, there's no stallholder fee, simply a $30 deposit which will be refunded on the night.

To book a stall, fill in the application form on the Made on the Left website. For additional information please contact Armadale Youth Resources on 9497 1722 or lindy@youthresources.com.au

The Dollar Shop – call for submissions

The Dollar Shop is a unique retail experience selling great design at affordable prices. Unfortunately it's in Sydney, not Perth but you can still submit products!

It is a collaboration between graphic designers Louise Helliwell and Alex De Bonis and supported by City of Sydney. All products in-store will be created by local artists, designers and creative types with the brief that nothing can be sold for over $20.

They are looking for a wide range of amazing products, for example: clothing, jewellery, bags, stationery, self-publishing, photography, posters, weird machines, instruments, kitchenware, illustration, music, craft, prints, things from far off lands etc. The product has to be designed/made/altered by you. It is a statement about making affordable design without selling yourself cheap.

Made on the Left Christmas drinks

As you may know, Made on the Left has struggled to find a permanent home since the function room at the Hyde Park hotel was turned into a liquor store ;-( 140william was a fantastic location for our winter market but unfortunately it’s not available for our Xmas market like we had hoped.
However, we will be having a Xmas catch up with all you lovely people and we are on the search for a permanent new venue. 
We are also looking for new volunteers, especially in the areas of finance, blogging, marketing, sponsorship, PR or grant writing so if this interests you, we would love to meet you!
The MOTL Xmas drinks will be at the revamped Hyde Park Hotel, from 6pm Friday, 2nd December - it would be great if you can make it to share ideas, catch up with other crafters and have some great food and wine.

Montage pop-up shop

Montage Collective is a group of friends who have got together to open a pop-up shop.

As part of the redevelopment of 140 William St, Perth, the designers have been offered a temporary retail space for the artists of Montage to showcase their original works with the aim of reinvigorating and revitalising this unused urban space.

Montage's mission is to create a unique shopping experience using the "pop-up" concept of temporarily appearing in a location before disappearing and then "popping-up" again. They also hope to encourage customers to support local handmade products by West Australian designers.

The shop showcases the handmade designs of the 15 local designers including clothing, jewellery, art, accessories, bags, stationery, toys and homewares.

Make sure you don't miss the chance to visit Montage and support local handmade designers before they close on Sunday 23rd October!
