Free posters by leading UK and international artists will be given out at select London Underground stations tomorrow morning (22 November) from 7.30am. David Shrigley, Jeremy Deller, Sol Calero, Alexandre da Cunha and Mark Titchner have all produced works in response to the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s London is Open campaign. Commuters will also be able to pick up postcards, badges and a lucky few will get a limited edition Deller tote bag (50 will be available at each station).
The Mayor’s campaign follows the UK’s Brexit vote in June, and aims to show that the capital is still “open to creativity, open for business, open to ideas, and open to the people from across the world who have chosen to live and work here”, Khan says in a statement. The posters will be given out at Tottenham Court Road, Vauxhall, King's Cross, Shepherd's Bush and Stratford stations. The free giveaway is organised by Art on the Underground.
