KCAW x CLEAR CHANNEL GALLERY OUTSIDE

Going nationwide, the new KCAW + Clear Channel Gallery Outside will manifest on premium large format screens displaying stunning installation works from the annual KCAW Public Art Trail, all thanks to Clear Channel.

 

This July is Art Month and Clear Channel is celebrating Art & Culture by working with multiple charities and non-profit organisations to bring open air, safe and accessible art works to different places across the United Kingdom.

 

Each year KCAW launches an open call inviting all artists, creative organisations and curators to present ambitious artworks for the Art Trail. Over 100 applications are received with the shortlisted artworks displayed proudly on the streets of Kensington + Chelsea. With thanks to Clear Channel, over 15 KCAW Art Trail installations will appear on the giant screens at key arterial routes. Titled, KCAW + Clear Channel Gallery Outside, the aim of the project is to support artists, most of whom are freelancers, hit hard by the pandemic.  As we all emerge from lockdown, the ambition is to also brighten ours commutes and inject joy and happiness into our lives, not just in West London, but countrywide.

 

KCAW + Clear Channel Gallery Outside includes work by Zak Ové, LR Vandy, Lauren Baker, artist duo Baker + Borowski, Luap, Yan Skates, these pieces now have the chance to reappear and take on a new lease of life as stunning billboards, along with previous year’s artists including Liz West, Alex Chinneck, Dotmasters, Toy Studio, Richard Woods and Alice Irwin.

 

The Kensington and Chelsea Art Week is an annual 11-day event which, this year, is launching the summer long Kensington + Chelsea Festival. The festival aims to inspire positivity and rethinking our environment as we emerge from lockdown.
