About Art Below

Art Below uses billboard space to showcase art by leading and emerging artists in the London Underground and overseas. The group has nurtured an international community of artistic talent and has displayed the works of thousands of artists including Banksy, Damien Hirst, Anish Kapoor, D*Face, Ben Eine, Alison Jackson, Jake & Dinos Chapman, in London, Tokyo, Berlin and Los Angeles.

Ad Lib Gallery has so far collaborated with Art Below in 2022 at Regent's Park, and in 2023 at Pimlico and Hyde Park Corner, and recently (November 2023) at multiple London tube stations, with exhibition space at Art Fair East.

Ad Lib Gallery will be working with Art Below again to display the works of selected artists on billboards at Pimlico tube station in February & March 2024.

Artists participating in the billboard campaign will be invited to exhibit 1-3 artworks for 3 weeks during our Winter Show, at Ad Lib Gallery in Wimbledon Village, from 1 - 25 February, or at the Art Below Group Show from 6 - 10 March.

Please read the guidelines below for more information and to see the various options available to artists.
