Clear Channel partners with Kensington + Chelsea Festival and KCAW Public Art Trail to present Gallery Outside
Some of London’s finest public art will go nationwide this month, thanks to Clear Channel. The 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 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.
KCAW + Clear Channel Gallery Outside includes work by Zak Ové, LR Vandy, Lauren Baker, Rand Abdul Jabbar, artist duo Baker and Borowski, Luap, and 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.
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.
Vestalia Chilton, the Director of KCAW and Kensington + Chelsea Festival comments: “Our art trail will take on a new lease of life and be able to spark joy and encourage discovery across the country, alongside the London audiences who have had chance to visit and enjoy it locally. Staying true to this year’s curatorial theme ‘REIMAGINE’, we hope that this campaign with Clear Channel enables everyone to have encounters with art, which in turn, help us all to reimagine what is possible in our own lives – creativity involves a daily re-imagination of what is possible.”
