The 7th annual ACT ART event CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED addresses 'DIFFERENCE'.

HOT GOLD PORSCHE 924 FOR SALE

1984 classic car. 75,000 Miles, in great nick (with only a few little marks of age, haven't we all?!).

She drives like a dream and is very reliable.
Incredibly stylish with CD stereo, wooden and brown interior, and pimp leopard skin seat covers.

7 months MOT and a personal recommendation of garage in East London who have serviced this car for a few years and are very loyal.

It's a bargain at £1100

This is a hard one to let go of, so keen to find a loving home.

We are looking for 9 male and female dancers to participate in a Postmodern May Pole dance at the ARTE POVERA mini festival in association with the Tate Modern and The House of Fairy Tales. The project involves two days rehearsals on the 21 & 22 of May and three afternoons of performance over the bank holiday weekend of the 23, 24 &25 of May.  We are only able to offer £50 to each dancer, however food will be provided by the event and it is a great opportunity to collaborate with lots of artists on a fun and quirky May celebration event.
 

Imminent deadline of Friday 29 May! Here are some reminders why the project is so unique:

.1) the application process is really straightforward - you just need to describe your big idea in 400 words

.2) organisations and collectives can apply, as long as the idea is led by an artist

.3) artists can apply at any stage of their career, whether they have a wealth of experience or are straight out of art college - we will provide guidance and support to help realise the projects

Given the recent major rise in gas and electricity prices, being thrifty is on everyone's conscience, and this is the high end way to do it - as you might already know, Wattson is a wireless, designer energy monitor, which tells you how much electricity you are using and/or how much money you are spending, and can help save up to 20% on your electricity bill. It's award winning and a big hit in the design community and with gadget fans, as well as helping flex green credentials. It retails at £99.95 (30% cheaper than previously, due to popular demand and increased production).
