EMI Art Project…Adopt a gnome for charity!
Throughout December and January a series of 10 garden gnomes will take residence at the EMI headquarters. Each gnome has been customised by a local artist and will be auctioned on eBay for charity with all proceeds going to local charity The Girls & Boys Brigade.

Now you can help give back to the community too by bidding on one of the 10 gnomes in the right-hand-side art project window. Proceeds from the auction will help The Girls and Boys Brigade in servicing and supporting the diverse needs of underprivileged children and youth living in inner city Sydney.
Contributing artists include Esjay, Pigeon Boy, qwux, DICKIE, Jaxie Yael, Akira Alvarez, Antone Benois, Sanchez, TMOD and local 12-year old artist Tripp Bianco.
BIDDING HAS BEGUN AND WILL CLOSE ON DECEMBER 30 SO YOU NEED TO HURRY!!!

Candied Trip to the Stars
Young, dreadlocked wordsmith Candy Royalle is hitting Melbourne and Adelaide with her new show, Stories by Starlight, early next year. Get along for some sharp poetry and powerful improv beats.
Candy Royalle is a veteran of the festival scene. She draws her audience in with some killer words and explosive theatrics. For her new show Royalle will be teaming up with three-piece rhythm section Sloppy Joe, known for their off the cuff improv tunes. Royalle says the show is an exploration of the darker side of the human psyche, of sex, love and social injustice. Fans of underground poetry will get a real kick out of it.
