Art Below is an international public art enterprise based in London.
Founded
in 2006 by Ben Moore, Art Below continues to develop a public gallery
in London's most iconic underground stations, using billboard space to
display the work of emerging creatives - 'Turning Ad space into Art
Space'
Our mission: To enrich the everyday life of the traveling public by giving fresh insight into the very latest in art, illustration, photography, fashion, whilst at the same time providing a platform for emerging talent.
Over the last 5 years we have displayed the works of over 800 international artists, seen by tens of millions as they travel. We are proud to be playing host to a fantastic range of highly acclaimed artists of varying backgrounds, from Ben Pentreath's NeoClassicist Architecture to controversial street art by the legendary Banksy! . As well as displaying those who are well established, we have also nurtured and cultivated the growth of some remarkable new talent including Saatchi award winner Sarah Maple, Eco fashion designer Ada Zanditon, and trend setting performance artist Philip Levine
What started as a London based initiative received overwhelming interest internationally enabling Art Below to establish themselves in Tokyo and Berlin and are now fast developing links into Paris, Hong Kong, Stockholm and Dubai.
Art Below host a range of ongoing collaborations with groups including The Hospital Club, and The Sovereign Art Foundation to push forward opportunities for artists to display for free in public space.
Wherever possible we seek to support student talent, and every year run 'Universe-City' enabling the latest student talent access to affordable display space in London's major underground stations.

'Art
should be, and in some senses already is everywhere, and we believe
that it should be for everybody. The gallery often has a stigma,
leading people to perceive art as a closed door, a private
establishment, and suggests an exclusive forum which only certain
people are encouraged to participate. Today's urban people lead
increasingly busy lives, they often do not have the time to appreciate
the value of art. We bring change by taking the art to them. We show
art in a new, public context.' Ben Moore 2008
