Updated Opening Specials & Final Dateline

There are growing concerns as to whether SIAQ will take off at all with delays already occurring in getting the shop off the ground at Westfield Carousel.

SIAQ can't work without the support of independent artists/creative individuals.

We would like to encourage independent artists/creative individuals to participate and help the concept of SIAQ come true. So, we are prepared to offer a better discount to already existing participants as well as to new participants considering/hanging back but still considering joining SIAQ.

For participants that have already expressed their interest prior to the 15th of May 2008, SIAQ offers you a 20% discount off leasing fees as well as 0% commission on the minimum 3-month duration, that's for ALL 3 months. It's our "thank you" to you for your immediate support!

For new participants considering joining SIAQ, we have 2 datelines for you.

Join before the 30th of June 2008 and you will be entitled to a 15% discount off leasing fees as well as 0% commission on the minimum 3-month duration, that's for ALL 3 months.

Join before the 31st of July 2008 and you will be entitled to a 10% discount off leasing fees and 5% commission on the minimum 3-month duration, that's for ALL 3 months.

AND

For all participants wanting to hire more than 1 cube at a time, we are introducing a 50% discount for the 1st month of lease and a subsequent 20% discount each month for each additional cube leased.

IMPORTANT NOTE: -

SIAQ aims to commence operations by 1st of September 2008.

That's a Spring start, a brand new beginning.

In the event SIAQ does not reach it's targeted 30 participants by the 31st of July, it will be with regret that the concept be abandoned.

Out In Perth!

SIAQ has appeared in Out In Perth!

We are really pleased with the write up and also very grateful for the exposure. Thank you Scott-Patrick!


There are a couple of facts we would like to correct slightly however; we hope to commence soon at Westfield Carousel and June was looking hopeful but without enough expression of interest raised, SIAQ will have to delay commencement yet again.

Also, we have expressed an interest with Sydney Airport to participate in their expansion. They have advised that they will take our expression of interest into consideration but there has been no confirmation yet as to whether they wish to take our concept on board.

Hopefully with the ads coming out in Handmade and ArtSource's season magazine, as well as a few more write-ups SIAQ has lined up with other craft magazines and possibly a local community newspaper, we will reach our target expression of interest numbers sooner rather than later.
