125 MAGAZINE
125 magazine is an independently published 300 page bi-annual photography publication which acts as a showcase for new work and ideas from a cross section of emerging and established artists that it is not possible to produce in more conventional publications. Since its creation in 2003, the magazine has published photography and illustration by over two hundred contributors - and staged exhibitions in London, New York and Tokyo, with other European cities upcoming. The magazine's staff work tirelessly to maintain the publication's long-established ethos of ideas, individuality and independence in a market which is increasingly generic and they are looking for like-minded businesses interested in an association with 125 as a sponsor and partner in the many events, books and other projects which they are constantly working on.

AUTOGRAPH ABP
The charity: founded in 1988, Autograph ABP is a charity that works to educate the public in photography, with an emphasis on cultural identity and human rights, through exhibitions, publishing, education and the creation of a public archive of culturally diverse photography. It is based at Rivington Place, London, the home of culturally diverse contemporary art and photography in the UK, which opened in 2007. Designed by David Adjaye OBE, this prestigious award-winning building is the first new-build public gallery in London since 1968. Autograph is constantly expanding, and has recently worked on projects with The Hayward Gallery, The South Africa National Gallery, The Barbican, Harvard University and Syracuse University (both USA), DRIK (Bangladesh), Manchester Museum and Art Gallery, Amnesty International, MTV Europe Foundation and Magnum Photos, in partnership to reach yet larger audiences. The offer: Autograph's concerns give it a special place at the centre of the British art scene - the envy of the world - with its sophisticated, urbane and educated audience. Sponsorship would provide the sponsor with access to this demographic segment, and associate them with an arts organisation that is socially aware and has a proven track record. Autograph ABP's audience figures for the year April 2008 - March 2009 were well over 500,000. The results of a 2009 spot-questionnaire for an Autograph exhibition at Rivington Place showed 68% of the audience were in work and 27% were students. 100% of those questioned rated their experience of the exhibition as either Good or Excellent. Recent press coverage included a four-page feature in the Guardian, a preview on Radio 3 Night Waves, three pages in The Independent, a full page in both Metro and The Times, a double page spread in New Humanist and numerous features and reviews in the general and art press. "Your mandate and programming is highly impressive ... the breadth of the photos both aesthetically and from the point of view of content, the associated contexts of the work, and the way the show was mounted. Wonderful, memorable, subtle, and in many ways revolutionary! Congratulations!" - Doina Popescu, Ryerson Gallery and Research Centre, Toronto, 2009; "You guys rock! The best exhibitions in the country. Cutting edge and accessible. Keep doing what you are doing and more" - Kevin McCullough, Christian Aid, 2009. Contact: Indra Khanna, Curator.

BOYS BY GIRLS
Launched in 2011, Boys by Girls is a collaborative project showcasing how female artists view and capture the male, presented in beautiful images online and in print. Boys by Girls celebrates the beauty of the male through exclusive photographic editorials, features, model profiles and model stories, and is aimed at anyone passionate about the male, menswear, models, photography and male beauty. Ever since its establishment, Boys by Girls not only showcases beautiful images by well-established female photographers, but also features work of young photographers, stylists and fashion writers, offering female talents opportunities to be noticed in the fashion world. It is the first publication to focus on the male exclusively in the perspective of the female. "Our content explores fashion and photography in a more intimate form, also revealing models' characters and personalities - an aspect which is often lost in the fashion photography. With our unique perspective and concept, Boys by Girls has already gained a wide audience online and we have recently (December 2012) released our fourth bookazine and first newsstand issue, which is being distributed globally by Pineapple Media Ltd and hit retailers such as Selfridges and Harrods in London, etc. Each issue has its own theme and central story which is then explored through editorials, portraiture, fashion, interviews and articles involving the boys, their interests, experiences, life and loves. The fourth issue, A Place Called Youth, explores the magic of youth, innocence and the mysterious transition between a boy and a man. Since its start the project has steadily been expanding on a daily basis and is now looking for sponsors and advertising partners to help continue to build the brand".

CONSTERNATION - CHARITY ART EXHIBITION
Vidlamode, in association with MIND, is presenting a two-day charity exhibition featuring seven artists showcasing 5-7 pieces of their work to create awareness of the cause through art. Vidlamode is a broadcasting and media production company established in 2013, and strategically located in the heart of Greater London, UK. "We are pleased to send this request in support of our forthcoming event, titled Consternation. Our specialities include film-making, photography, art history and cinema. Our mission is to deliver cutting-edge contents in art, cinema and fashion. Vidlamode creates and broadcasts highly compelling media content. Our YouTube channel showcases some of our creative works from fantasy tales such as Garden of Atlantis; an interview segment entitled The Exceptionals: 'A Gallerist', 'A Designer', 'A Witches Brew'; and many more. As part of a milestone reached, we were nominated Best Director at the 2016 Ouchy Film Award, Switzerland and 'Best Costume & Makeup' category. Giving back is essential. Through charitable work, we can add meaning or support to people in need. At this period, we have challenged ourselves to extend support to people suffering from various mental illnesses and to raise further awareness. Amongst people around us, one out of ten has experienced mental stress or disorder problems. They need support and counselling and deserve quality health services - and raising awareness will go a long way to save many lives. To strengthen the tradition of excellence and demonstrate a commitment to humanity, Vidlamode, in conjunction with MIND (www.mind.org.uk), is organising a charity art exhibition - Consternation, a two-day exhibition to feature seven top artists with a unique point of view, creating septenary pieces of their individual work. We are in need of funds for hosting (rent of space, foods and drinks and, most importantly, the printing of pictures and framing of artworks), with proceeds from this event donated to MIND".

MEDIA SHOWCASE
As a self-taught artist who has worked professionally in design, illustration and photography, Alix Speakman would like to develop this site but needs sponsorship to do so. "The idea behind the site is to provide free resources for the use of other visual artists, particularly aspiring artists who don't have the opportunity to take up a full-time art college education, or don't want to make such a major commitment. These resources include much of my own previous work, as well background information on how I went about creating various visual artworks. I'd like to complement that with tutorials in web page and pdf form, software reviews and buying guides, and extensive links to external resources - but all that takes time I can't afford to dedicate in my present job. Well, that's the idea for the site and as you can see I've already begun work on it. Please browse the site to get a better idea of what it's all about. Any degree of sponsorship invovlement can be considered, sole sponsorship, partial, etc. If you have any questions, please drop me a line at sponsorshipforsite@gmail.com, and I'll get back to you within a few days".
