Art Outdoor: UK-World’s Largest Art Gallery (Part III)
The Art Everywhere project, working in partnership with JCDecaux and other Outdoor companies, has transformed the streets of the UK into the world’s largest art exhibition this summer.
From Monday 12th August, a total of 22,000 poster sites in cities, towns and villages across the UK will display 57 British masterpieces. These artworks have been selected by members of the public by ‘liking’ their chosen pieces on Facebook.
During the 2-week exhibition, people will be able to interact with the art pieces by downloading an app which will provide the origin and details of the selected piece.
Enthusiasm levels for this inspirational exhibition are high, evidenced by numerous tweets from people searching for the location of a masterpiece nearest to them, and from those who have spotted them.
