The Kensington + Chelsea Art Week Public Art Trail is seen by one million visitors each week across many iconic locations across Kensington + Chelsea. Every year, artists are invited to participate in an Open Call by aligning their proposals with the annual festival theme (to be revealed on October 17th) where submissions are encouraged to:
Pay homage to the area's rich historical and artistic heritage, encompassing both ancient and modern influences.
Foster active engagement with the audience.
Evoke the festive and celebratory atmosphere of the event.
Maintain a positive, non-discriminatory, and non-political stance.
