then this is definitely the collection of young lesbian and gay writers for you.
All in all the collection is as frightening as it is entertaining and will certainly make you think twice about getting anywhere near that sweet young teen boy or girl next door. Martin Flynn

OFFICE inspiration

ICI employees are getting a shot of inspiration this month with the opening of a special exhibition of artwork.
'Feeling Inspired' is a collection of artwork created by 13 disabled artists who have been promoted by London Disability Arts Forum (LDAF). LDAF is a charity that supports disabled artists and creates a forum for disabled people to access and enjoy the arts in all forms - from the theatre and film festivals, to

art exhibitions such as the one being unveiled at ICI.
The exhibition is being held at ICI's London Head Office in London's Manchester Square and marks the start of a relationship between ICI and LDAF. The collection of artwork contains paintings and sculptures and will be on show for all visitors to the Company's Business Centre over the coming months. A preview showing on 21 October is planned, at which about 200 attendees are expected, including employees, journalists, and many corporate representatives. The show runs for several months.
ICI is one of the world's largest producers of speciality products and paints with more than 38,000 employees worldwide and sales in 2001 of £6.4 billion.
Brendan O'Neill, ICI chief executive says: " We hope that this unique art exhibition will stimulate everyone's senses at ICI and help promote the work of disabled artists." Julie McNamara, artistic

director at LDAF, is delighted with the partnership.
