| AA/PL001 | THE GUILD OF EROTIC ARTISTS Beaumont Hall Studios are the home of The Guild of Erotic Artists. The Studios are billed as the only interactive erotic art studio in the U.K. Housed in a completely renovated 15th century barn in the rural Hertfordshire countryside, the promotion of both new and established artists is facilitated through the art gallery at Beaumont Hall Studios. The Guild is a non-profit organisation, supported by annual fees from its members. The artists who support its efforts dedicate themselves both financially and as volunteers enabling the Guild to present an impressive number of activities on a limited budget. The work represented ranges from unknown artists to classic images by Paul John Ballard, Ray Leaning, Ken Clarke and others. The Guild's success has exceeded expectations in providing a place to expand the commercial value and exposure of erotic art. It hosts social events throughout the year to raise funds and to provide a sense of community for supporters of erotic art. An example is the monthly Erotic Event Days, which promote and exhibit erotic art in a very popular party setting and encourage members of the public to join in and try their hand at artwork themselves. This raises funds to support the Guild's activities at the same time. The Studios provide artists with a social environment in which to network, exhibit and store their work in secure premises and, most importantly, the opportunity to buy and sell works. Parties, auctions, stage sets - all are part of the planned events. The Guild also promotes itself at such exhibitions as Erotica, Erotique, Skin Two, as well as at private exhibitions around the country. Continued support from individuals and companies is crucial to the Guild's survival and continued growth. Visible community support will greatly aid its members in attracting corporate support. Every pound contributed and new membership will ensure the future protection of the right to exhibit and view whatever art one chooses. To keep moving forward and to be able to commission its own exhibitions, some of which will tour nationally and internationally, the Studio urgently needs sponsorship. Supporting its mission will be of benefit to those companies wishing to look to the future. Contact: Colin Ballard, Managing Director. Address: Beaumont Hall Studios, Beaumont Hall Lane, St Albans, Herts. AL3 6EN. Tel.: 01582 791661. Fax: 01582 793332. E-mail: secretary@theguildoferoticartists.com link to website A Permanent Gallery of Erotic Art One of the Guild's goals was to establish a permanent Erotic Art exhibition that will display a stimulating range of work in a setting suitable to the importance it deserves. This goal has been realised in Beaumont Hall Studios at St Albans. The achievement of this goal required the support of all who have an interest in erotic art, whether for personal satisfaction or to promote tolerance and freedom of expression. With continued support the Guild will promote a deeper, healthier and more tolerant appreciation of human sexuality by opening an exhibition of erotic art that will never close: Beaumont Hall Studios.

| AA/PL002 |  OPEN Open is a recently launched online magazine - www.openmagazine.co.uk - offering a cutting edge combination of the high arts and popular culture. The ethos of the mag. is to present the arts as stylish, relevant, accessible and exciting. Its readership is bright, savvy and curious: interested in discovering new experiences; widening their knowledge. They may already be involved with the arts either as practitioners or enthusiasts. But, equally, the magazine appeals to those who may know nothing about art, or theatre or modern dance but simply be curious. Open 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. Editor-in-Chief Loma-Ann Bonner is a former staff journalist on various nationals and has recently been elected as a Fellow of the RSA for her work on Open. Details of sponsorship opportunities are available on request. Contact: Loma-Ann Bonner, Editor-in-Chief. Address: London-based. Tel.: 07946 476183. E-mail: editor@openmagazine.co.uk link to website

| AA/0004 | THE BRITISH SCHOOL AT ROME An exciting opportunity has arisen to create a new art gallery for the British School at Rome. Space for this has been released as a result of the major new expansion currently taking place in the form of a new Lecture Theatre and Library Extension, thanks to the generosity of, among others, the Lindbury Trust (Lord and Lady Sainsbury of Preston Candover) and the Packard Humanities Institute. The BSR is splendidly situated in the Villa Borghese Gardens alongside the National Gallery of Modern Art, which is itself building a new gallery, sensitively designed by Diener & Diener, that will face the School. The prestigious gallery programme has invited artists such as Rachel Whiteread, Mona Hatoum, Bridget Riley, Adam Chodsko and Richard Billingham. Group shows like London Calling or Sweetie have drawn attention to significant movements in British art, say the organisers, while the Viva Roma series of commissions has invited site-specific works inspired by aspects of the life of Rome by Ceith Wyn Evans, Mark Wallinger and Yinka Shonibare. The quality of these and other events obliges the School to improve its facilities to a standard necessary to show their works to the best advantage - sponsorship support is sought..

| AA/0018 | 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 where the David Chipperfield-designed Turner Contemporary Gallery is currently being built. The Turner Contemporary is expected to attract 120,000 visitors per year. 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. The budget for the project is unlikely to exceed £15,000 but the exact amount required will depend upon specification. One sponsor is sought. Contact: Dr Fiona Sherriff. Address: 1 Beach Houses, Royal Crescent, Margate CT9 5AL. Tel.: 07968 209047. Fax: 01843 292375.

| AA/0021 | 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.

The Whitechapel is embarking on the most exciting phase of its history. In 2009 it will re-open after a £10.5 million expansion incorporating the former Whitechapel Library. The Gallery's expansion will double gallery space and triple the capacity for work with local schools and communities in state of the art premises. The expanded Gallery will provide year-round, late-night opening, enhanced visitor services and a street-level café-bar. The area around the Gallery is set to undergo an unprecedented phase of social and commercial regeneration in the run up to the 2012 Olympics.
