Art Not Oil Launch Party - Saturday 10th at 8pm

Art Not Oil is a rolling exhibition aimed at encouraging artists to create work that explores the damage that oil companies are doing to the planet, and the role art can play in counteracting that damage. As well as exposing the destructive practices of the oil industry the exhibition explores the alternatives to fossil fuel madness. The new exhibition for 2006 will be launched with an extravaganza of oil-free cabaret, films, café, bar and live music from Rhythms of resistance, Sarah Bear, The Rub & many more. All the money raised from the launch party will go towards making the climate camp happen in August. The exhibition will be at the 491 Gallery from the 10th to 24th June.
