The Gallery is a portal to ignite meaningful artistic and national conversations around some of the most important questions and issues of our time. With works displayed on thousands of digital screens and billboards in over 55 towns and cities in the UK, it stands as the UK’s largest public art exhibition. 

 

Established in 2022 and conceived by leading UK arts producer Artichoke, together with public artist Martin Firrell, The Gallery aims to create a new kind of cultural institution without walls. It provides artists with a unique platform and opportunity to produce bold and fearless work for the public realm, harnessing the power and reach of outdoor advertising sites.  

 

Launched in partnership with the Out-of-Home* advertising industry, including   Bauer Media Outdoor and JCDecaux, The Gallery challenges traditional models of viewing art – bringing it to places where people live, work and travel. Since its inception, The Gallery has been viewed more than 284 million times by people across the UK. 

 

Founded on a belief that art should be democratic, accessible and engaging, The Gallery aims to showcase exciting work by diverse artists no matter where they are in the world. 

 

The project nurtures and develops early and mid-career artists, giving them a platform and guidance on producing art in the public realm.
