JCDecaux have teamed up with Creative Exchange to help promote their 'Art in the East Side' Billboard Project. The campaign, which is now in its 5th year, is part of The Belfast Festival at Queens, is now live and running on the streets of the city.
This year there are 38 JCDecaux billboards around East Belfast each displaying a different creative from a group of extremely talented local artists. The judging panel, which included Eimear Collins from JCDecaux, had the difficult task of choosing the winners from over 500 entries.
This dynamic public art project, celebrates the creative positive energy of East Belfast, through the use of high-quality visual art, on Billboards and installations in public spaces. Collectively, it creates an outdoor gallery of positive and thought-provoking images. Viewed by over 400,000 commuters, visitors and residents, Art in The Eastside is for many, an introduction to visual art.
Creative Exchange is a charitable visual arts collective based in East Belfast and further details can be found on their website www.creativeexchange.org.uk
