London Calling all artists, creative folk and craftivists.
Last year the National Gallery hosted an evening reception for weapons dealers http://indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/09/484620.html [1], celebrating the first day of business at DSEi, the world's largest arms fair.
Italian arms company, Finmeccanica sponsors the gallery: for £30,000 it buys the opportunity to use the gallery's rooms to impress its clients and woo decision-makers. Against such a lavish backdrop it's probably easy to forget that their business is death and destruction.
Stop the Arms Fair is launching a campaign to end the National Gallery's links with Finmeccanica.
