If Damien Hirst's landmark ã96m sale at Southeby's this week has whetted your appetite for some serious artwork but the banking crisis is making you a little wary of spending millions, the Lazarides Extravaganza is the perfect solution. A ã5,000 prize draw ticket guarantees you a piece of art and you have a one-in-ten chance of winning a major contemporary work.
The Lazarides Extravaganza promises to be a "carnavalesque riot of music, games and burlesque to inject mayhem, irreverence and fun into the London art scene - a truly anarchic expression of the punk spirit of art".
