Come to this art exhibition in Federation Square - featuring the work of sixty artists of ethnic origins who are differently abled. Where: The Atrium, Federation Square When: Wednesday 26 November to Tuesday 2 December. A unique and vibrant art exhibition will be on show in the Atrium at Federation Square during November 26 to December 2, 2008. There are 120 exceptional paintings, drawings and sketches exploring the theme of the “Journey” - the sights, sensations and memories that make every journey personal. This public exhibition is purely about artistic expression and the pure joy for the painter to have the opportunity to have their work seen by thousands of people from all walks of life; ADEC ArtAbility 2008 provides men, women and children from fringe cultural corners of Melbourne the chance to transcend difficulties by communicating visually in a professional way. ADEC ArtAbility is an event showcasing exciting, colourful work from artists at the end of this month. Leading award winning contemporary artist and teacher (Latrobe Art College & Victoria University), David Ralph will be judging the exhibition and awarding prizes. He said, “My gut reaction to the work that I have seen so far, is that the paintings are wonderfully unselfconscious. They are intuitive and meditative and made with enjoyment; there is a sense of love, fun and timelessness to the work. There are various styles peaking through this exhibition from modernist, Arte Brut, Impressionism and Fauvism. It’s an honour to be invited to be a part of this special event”. The 60 artists live in various pockets of Melbourne who have origins in places such as Somalia, Europe, obscure countries in the Pacific Islands, China, Russia, Japan, Greece, Iraq, Africa and so on. ADEC have co-ordinated this exhibition tapping into the schools and organisations who work with intellectually and physically challenged people. What: ADEC Artability 2008 - 120 paintings on canvas, drawings and illustrations presented by artists from ethnic origins. On Friday 28 November ArtAbility will host a Gala Opening and Art Auction to celebrity guests, high profile artists from Melbourne, Government officials and community groups and art fans from all over Melbourne. Organisers are expecting 400 guests at the opening. The paintings can be bought by the public and there will be awards given to the top three artworks selected by David Ralph. Other special guests contributing to this exhibition are, Australian Ambassador for International Day for Disability, Milly Parker and Paralympic swimmer, Hannah MacDougall. Public are welcome.

The Homeless World Cup is an annual, international street soccer
tournament, uniting teams of people who are homeless and excluded to
take a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent their country and
change their lives forever. It has inspired and continues to support
soccer projects around the world working with homeless and marginalised
people.
The first Homeless World Cup was in Graz, Austria in 2003. Since then Gothenburg, Edinburgh, Cape Town and Copenhagen have played host to the tournament. Having participated with our Street Socceroos since the 2005 tournament in Edinburgh, The Big Issue put in a successful bid to host the 2008 Homeless World Cup in Melbourne. In 2008, running from december 1st to 7th, Melbourne will host the sixth Homeless Word Cup and will welcome teams from over 50 nations worldwide. Players will come together in the spirit of sport and community to represent their countries, entertain the crowds and demonstrate the power of sport as a means of social inclusion. Make sure you come to this fantastic free community event! Adopt A Team Get your school involved with the Melbourne 2008 Homeless World Cup and learn about another culture. The Adopt a Team program is an opportunity to enrich the learning of thousands of Australian school students by linking them to the Melbourne 2008 Homeless World Cup and making it possible for some disadvantaged nations to participate. Within a structure provided by the Education Foundation Australia, and supported by the Homeless World Cup, school communities will be invited to adopt a team participating in the Homeless World Cup.
