AA/PL001	THE ARCHES PROJECT The Arches Project which is based in Digbeth, Birmingham and is in its infancy, operates a gallery providing a platform for innovative artists in all disciplines. "Our gallery space will be given to a group of artists so that they are free to engage with the space without the pressure of commercial gain, which can sometimes restrict the work of the artist. The exhibitions will range from solo shows to a group of live art performances and screens. The ethos of the project is dedicated to supporting artists in realising their visions and their dreams, so we are seeking sponsorship from your company. There are a number of sponsorship opportunities, which will be focused on one of the several exhibition events. Continued support from individuals and companies is crucial to the continued growth of the studio. To keep moving forward and be able to commission its own exhibitions, the studio urgently needs sponsorship. Supporting the mission will be of benefit to those companies wishing to advance. We believe that by bringing the community together to celebrate diversity through the arts there will be better understanding between groups of people living in the community. Please contact us for further details". Contact: Evette Edmeade. Address: Adderley Street, Digbeth, Birmingham B9 4EE. Tel.: 0121 772 0852.

The ethos of the mag. is to present the arts as stylish, relevant, accessible and exciting.

But, equally, the magazine appeals to those who may know nothing about art, or theatre or modern dance but simply be curious. The magazine is never preachy or judgemental: it's fun, glossy and looks at the emerging zeitgeist with humour and irreverence. It looks at the classics with fresh eyes and champions emerging talent. Features are written by journalists and experts in their field ... often by arts practitioners themselves.

AA/PL006	LEE HADWIN (WORLD'S SLEEP ARTIST) Lee Hadwin from north Wales has been described by the Edinburgh Sleep Clinic as unique. With no training, no talent and no inclination in waking life to be an artist, Lee draws and sketches portraits, figures and landscapes in his sleep. Sleep-drawing since the age of four, it wasn't until he was sixteen and staying over at a friend's house that his nocturnal talents as an artist began to emerge. He recalls: "The next morning my friend's mother found drawings all over the walls in the kitchen, but we had been drinking that night so we put it down to that". In his late 'teens and early 'twenties, whilst still living at home, Lee began to draw or scribble on walls, tables, clothes, discarded newspapers - with pens, crayons and coal - anything he could get his hands on. Now, he is prepared and has his sketch books and materials scattered around his flat, which he shares with his partner Clint. Even he admits, at the start, his work wasn't much to look at; but as the years have passed, the drawings have become more detailed, more profound. Today, with interest from galleries around the world, Lee has discovered a global demand for his work. "People ask me all the time", he says, "what it is like; but I can't really answer that because I don't feel it's my work as I don't recall doing it in the first place. You should see my reports from school: I was appalling at art and couldn't draw at all". Lee has had a regular supply of offers from TV, radio and magazines as well as some bizzare ideas from different companies around the world. He is now looking for a major sponsor who can help to exploit his talents to the full, for mutual benefit. "We have many ideas to share". Contact: Lee Hadwin.

AA/PL007	MICHAEL CONNELL: MIXED MEDIA ARTIST Michael tries to make his art as original as possible - and views the work as an extension of himself. "Welcome to Povera - recycling waste materials into art form. My work involves the use of many materials ranging from broken glass, wood and sash cord, basically anything that I can recycle. I have been working in construction for over thirty years where I collect materials left over from various trades. One of my favourite sources for obtaining materials are the skips on site. I can be spotted most days on the underground stations with salvage materials for my next project". Michael welcomes any ideas to tailor a sponsorship package that best suits you.

But now rather than simply congratulating your friend/relative on their talentlessness you can suggest they make a contribution to Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA), an institution that only takes art so bad it can't be ignored", The Independent "Founded in 1994, the volunteer-run museum has since received attention from around the world, and critics from the New York Times to Harvard scholars have expounded on its influence.

AA/013	ELAINE ROBINSON Elaine Robinson's art explores connection, ancestry, nature, time and space. Born in the north of England in Barrow-in-furness, she gained an art/music (Hons) degree from the University of Leeds. Elaine worked in business and social work before becoming a professional artist. She has developed an approach to art and expression which works instinctively in the 'moving moment'. Constantly exploring aspects of time in relation to the person, many of the paintings have a message on the back which is only written at the moment ownership is taken for the painting. The paintings are bespoke with no prints made. Each of the paintings forms part of a complete and emerging element of time. The series of works are called "have", "been", "done" and "before", and although painted at a very different moving moment of time the power of the words together suggests very clearly something which has passed. However, as individual words they are relevant to the work, its owner and artist. Installation and sculpture work has become an expression arena where Elaine is able to explore more fully aspects of nature, history and symbolism which have, over time, become less familiar to us as an accepted alternative reality state. "Turning 'ages" is both an installation and sculpture which is presently doing a national city library tour around the UK. Writing groups have been inspired by the work and information regarding the tour and a running blog can be seen in the menu bar. Presently working on two new installation works for the public arena, Elaine is now seeking permanent sponsors.

AA/0025	MARGATE HARBOUR ARM This is an opportunity to sponsor a permanent seaside look-out point for the public in Margate, Kent. The sponsorship will reach a wide range of people: UK seaside holiday visitors, contemporary art gallery visitors and local people of all ages in Kent. Margate is a seaside town undergoing huge regeneration, including the Margate Harbour Arm project (www.margateharbourarm.co.uk) which has turned a derelict pier into a new attraction with high quality offerings. So far there is an art gallery, artists' studios, a cafe, an ice cream shop, a gift and jewellery shop and, hopefully very soon, a fish restaurant and two more retail units. Margate Harbour Arm is located directly next to the site of the Turner Contemporary Gallery. The location has panoramic sea views, and the proposed project aims to connect the public with the marine environment. The aim is to create a look-out point at the end of the Harbour Arm which makes the most of the location and the experience of being surrounded by sea. Information panels will be created but they will not just be the usual photo-and-info. They will be high quality in terms of content, appearance and construction, to complement the Harbour Arm project and to sit comfortably alongside the regeneration and artistic environment being created in Margate. It is anticipated that a local artist/cartoonist will be involved to make them something special. Local naturalists and teachers will also be involved to focus on the important facts, in a way which is accessible to both adults and children. Given the location, the durability of the structures is going to be very important and options have been discussed with an engineer and structural glass expert. Ideally it will also be possible to provide a platform with binoculars. One sponsor is sought. Contact: Dr Fiona Sherriff. Address: 1 Beach Houses, Royal Crescent, Margate CT9 5AL.

AA/0031	SOUTH LONDON GALLERY The South London Gallery is a nationally and internationally recognised centre of excellence in the provision of contemporary visual art exhibitions and live art events, with integrated education and outreach programmes. The SLG opened in 1981 with the aim of bringing art to the working people of South London. It has continued to do so ever since, with particular success in the past decade when the emphasis has been on showing challenging new work by emerging and established British and international artists. Other strands in the programme broaden the core audiences' experience and understanding of contemporary art, and involve new audiences in the gallery's activities. The Live Art programme has a strong reputation and dedicated following from a special interest audience, whereas off-site projects, such as On Kawaras Reading One Million Years in Trafalgar Square, or Chris Burden's The Flying Steamroller at Chelsea College Parade Ground, present contemporary art in a range of contexts with the aim of involving new audiences. The SLG's Education and Outreach programmes are integral to all the gallery's activities and tend to focus on schools, colleges and various local community groups. This is an exciting time of change for the SLG as they embark on Phase 2 of an ambitious building project, expanding the gallery into the neighbouring three-storey terraced house to provide three small scale exhibition spaces, a flat for a programme of artists' residencies, a street facing cafe, outdoor project spaces, gardens and a state of the art education studio. The SLG relies on generating funds from both the public and private sectors to continue its challenging programme of exhibitions, education and live art. Sponsorship of individual exhibitions is offered in exchange for a number of benefits. Contact: Isabelle Hancock. Address: 65 Peckham Road, London SE5 8UH. Tel.: 020 7703 6120. Fax: 020 7252 4730.
