Real Art Works is not for profit

Real Art Works has incorporated as a not for profit body. This doesn't mean that we don't do exciting projects employing profesional artists at professional rates. What it does mean is that the express aim of the organisation is not about making money. It's about making art that is real and relevant to the communities from which it comes. It's about making art in a collaberative and often risky style. Some call it sloppy, I call it digging into the process. The other good thing about being a not for profit org is that it means that we are eligable to apply for funding from a much larger number of funding catagories in our own right. RealArtWorks is asking it's members therefore to come up with great projects, contact Zeb or Ruth to talk about your ideas, Zeb needs something to do anyway and (without pissing  in his own pocket/blowing smoke up his own arse from which with aid of a mirror he can see the sunshining) he's ok at the grant writing
