Surrounded by books in Foyles on Charing Cross Road, this unique module of Ryland Grace’s spaceship has a window for readers and shoppers to peer through as well as a hatch to enter the “spaceship”. Once inside, explorers will find a big lightbox wall and a control panel in front of the chair; and when the intercom button is pressed, a message from Rocky is patched through.

JACK ARTS is proud to have collaborated with the Tate and Tracey Emin’s studio on taking the celebrations to the streets through a multi-media campaign across London. From posters with Emin’s striking neon artwork illustrating affecting calls-to-action to creative builds painting the city in neon lights, the JACK ARTS team consulted on the design of the out-of-home campaign, maximising the use of our poster sites and event spaces to announce the exhibition.

With a full takeover of our Hackney Furniture event space on Mare Street and Emin’s emotive artwork popping up on streets in the city, JACK ARTS designed a suite of experiences for passersby to get a taste of what to expect at A Second Life. Creating vectors from high-resolution photographs of Emin’s neon works, the light builds are exact replicas of her handwriting. And as Emin’s work frequently explores memories and personal histories, this was mirrored in the curation of poster sites which features areas in London that played key parts in Emin’s life. So, if you’re in London between 27 Feb 2026 – 31 Aug 2026, take a trip over to the Tate Modern and immerse yourself Emin’s life story so far.

JACK ARTS worked closely with Hachette to have this special moment mirror how the books have been a light in the dark for fans as well as the essence of the Heartstopper series. Alice Oseman and some avid Heartstopper fans invited by Hachette huddled outside our Hackney Furniture site to witness the grand reveal. Hidden inside a lightbox, the wonderful cover illustration for the final volume took over our Hackney Furniture poster sites and was lit up for all to see with the help of some colourful festoon lights. The fans also got given Heartstopper tote bags with prints of the cover art inside as a keepsake. And whilst the saying goes ‘all good things must come to an end’, every ending is also a new beginning…

BBJ&K and JACK ARTS teamed up to develop ways WMCA could respectfully and creatively amplify the voices of past victims. Together with our Creative Studio, JACK ARTS came up with the idea to make a tree installation carrying incredibly touching messages from families who have been affected by road collisions.

The Letter Tree was unveiled by the Mayor of the West Midlands, Richard Parker, in Brindleyplace, Birmingham and there was a special moment for road accident survivors and affected family members to see the tree and read their stories. The Letter Tree will now be going on tour across the region in 2026 to continue raising awareness about the importance of road safety.

JACK ARTS partnered with MAF once again to bring this year’s campaign to life across the city. For 2025, the featured campaign artwork came from the Manchester-based Bibianna African Art Collective, who represent the artist Agboola Emmanuel. His vibrant piece, known for its bold colour and strong visual presence, became the focal image of the fair’s street campaign.

This year, MAF also invited JACK ARTS to select an additional artwork from the full collection to showcase on one of their chosen sites. The selected piece was Manchester, Drag Brunch Cigarette Break by photographer Charles Eastwood – a striking image captured on Manchester’s iconic Princess Street. Displayed on a 16-sheet installation on the very street where it was photographed, the placement created a meaningful and memorable moment for this year’s campaign.

Adding to the experience, the 2025 campaign introduced scannable QR codes on posters, allowing passersby to instantly claim free tickets, creating a more interactive and welcoming approach to audience engagement. With exhibitions, talks, workshops, and more, Manchester Art Fair 2025 continued to provide a vital platform for artists while offering visitors accessible and inspiring ways to explore contemporary art.

JACK ARTS and Total Media worked together to bring a series of lenticular billboards. These playful yet striking installations visualise the feeling of cracking under the pressure of impossible expectations – a theme that lies at the heart of A Complicated Woman.

New work by emerging artists Leyla Hussain, Finn Millar, Cara Murray and Liv Rodgers took over a range of unique formats, each exploring themes around V&A Dundee’s exhibition Garden Futures – considering how gardens and public spaces can act as platforms for social justice, biodiversity and sustainability.

Created over several months, with professional development support from V&A Dundee and BUILDHOLLYWOOD Scotland – including tours, talks and artist crits – the resulting work explores social and class identity, the Gaelic winter tradition of Samhain, the radical potential of gardens, and presents a monument for the Palestinian journalists and media workers who have been targeted and killed in the current genocide in Gaza.

Nash’s interest in entangling the mechanics of printmaking with the pliancy of textiles is shared by her friend and mentor Fraser Taylor, who has a longstanding interest in the co-constitutive relationship between graphic design, printmaking techniques, and the materiality of textiles. His work features printed textiles alongside thick, gestural oil marks layered onto collaged cardboard. Through a stark, monochromatic palette, fragmented curves and grids invoke the shadows of an arch or gable; the curve of a tunnel; the mullion of a window. 

JACK ARTS Scotland partnered with Nash and Taylor to take their new collaborative works to our sites across Edinburgh and Glasgow, ahead of their parallel solo exhibitions SEE / AND KNOW BOTH SIDES OF THE QUESTION and Unlikely Architectures at Wasps Patriothall Gallery in Edinburgh, supported through their arts programme. Combining Taylor’s distinctive black lines with Nash’s textural embroidery the pair have overlaid their work to mimic the process of layering within screen printing. This series of nine new collaborative works bridge the intersections of their practices, bringing graphic marks and soft textures to public sites across the two cities.

Set in London’s Vinegar Yard, the activation took over two eye-catching billboards. One featured a dramatic, larger-than-life spill board of the crocodile from the book’s cover, cleverly hiding between jungle trees. At street level, a second interactive board invited passersby to take a leaf-shaped piece of seeded paper, designed to be planted at home so children could grow their own mini jungle. A QR code on the board and tear-away paper offered instant access to buy tickets on the spot.

But the fun didn’t end there. Brand ambassadors stationed in front of the site with a branded trolley handed out free copies of The Enormous Crocodile along with themed bookmarks, giving visitors a memorable keepsake from this playful and engaging experience.

Known for her bold, feminist artworks often created from layering archive images from magazines, newspapers and vintage pornography, including her famous cover for the Buzzcocks Orgasm Addict single – and performances including wearing a meat-dress to the Hacienda in the 80s (decades before Lady Gaga shocked the world by wearing one to the 2010 MTV Music Awards) – the artist has always played with themes of power and provocation.

These two new large-scale artworks came to life as Linder worked with our team to build up layers of supersized cut-outs featuring lemons, cups, flowers, swans and hands onto base artworks she’d created specifically for the partnership. The finished works were a celebration of colour, form and sexuality – boldly launching the 2025 edition of the Art Festival and its programme of exhibitions and events across the capital.

Forget the standard drone shots of city skylines. Sheffield Inspires is about going deeper, uncovering the essence of what makes the city truly remarkable. It’s not just about what Sheffield looks like-it’s about what it makes you feel. It’s about the ideas, people, and movements born here that have left a lasting mark far beyond the city’s borders – from football and climbing to beer and electronic music, Sheffield inspires, always has, always will.

To bring this vision to life, Marketing Sheffield have teamed up with some of the city’s most talented creatives, artist Rob Lee, animator Andrew Robinson (Studio AW-AR), and musician Evan Majumdar-Swift (96 Back) to craft an immersive new way of showcasing Sheffield – culminating in an animated arts commission, collection of images and stories, and a city-wide street poster launch in partnership with JACK ARTS; the poster campaign brings each of the campaigns seven inspirational elements of Sheffield to life, with site specific display to amplify their impacts.  ‘The craft of beer’ went on the side of the well loved Washington Pub, for example; ‘greener cities’ went by the flagship Castlegate grey to green site; and ‘the beautiful game’ went across the road from Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane stadium. Developed in collaboration with key partners, including academic institutions, leading organisations, and industry pioneers the campaign presents a cohesive narrative that highlights Sheffield’s global impact.

As people moved past, the design shifted before their eyes, offering a visual journey that captured the book’s essence.  

Additionally, we enhanced the celebration with a captivating window installation and mural at Foyles Bookshop in London, further immersing readers in the magic of The City and Its Uncertain Walls.

Flaming torches, tree stump seating, scattered swords, helmets and shields amid crumbling pillars bring the woodland camp to life authentically. Two large conch shells served as interactive props, with decreet speakers playing excerpts from the audiobook – attendees were invited to pass them around and listen, drawing them deeper into the world of Camp Half-Blood. These shells were a nod to Percy Jackson’s heritage as the son of Poseidon, adding a deeper layer to the experience. They also triggered the nostalgic childhood memory of holding a shell to one’s ear to “hear the sea.” The installation also featured fun props, perfect for Comic-Con photos, allowing visitors to share their experience online and spread the magic of Camp Half-Blood beyond the event.

JACK ARTS Scotland worked with Trackie and Govan Project Space, a not-for-profit creative space in the Southside of Glasgow, to install a large-scale 48sheet of his artwork, contrasting the journeys of the iconic friends of Dorothy with a pilgrimage from modern lad culture. Easily mistaken for a painted mural, the pasted artwork backdrops a Burberry spray-painted Nissan Micra, a not-so-subtle nod to the 90’s fashion influences throughout his work. The installation forms part of the wider exhibition which is brimming with nostalgia and humour through its installations and interactive elements; the non-traditional art space was intentional, encouraging the notion that art is for all, not the few – a motif which extends throughout Trackie’s working practise, shining a light on consumerism, culture, trends, ingrained masculinity and sexuality through a pop-art inspired queer lens.

The group of new small works in oil on canvas, viewed at an intimate level in the gallery are brought in front of the viewer at large scale street-side, forcing passers-by to meet the gaze of the ‘masked’ subjects. The playful yet unnerving portraits are delicately painted, akin to religious frescos and displayed alongside paintings of houses shrouded in darkness or ablaze in the night. The paintings provide a bizarre visual narrative almost like a cartoon-panelled folktale across the poster sites, ‘mock-laughing at the absurdity of modern life’.

The venue’s lasting impact is still felt today, its histories woven into the fabric of the city. Together with Headline Book’s we installed a creative billboard that encouraged passing locals to share their own stories of the club and add their narratives into the tapestry of memories.   The poster site, fittingly located across the road from the iconic nightclub’s entrance, was transformed into an old-school blackboard.  From the nostalgic and wholesome to the debauched and NSFW, the billboard brought handwritten memories flooding back onto the city streets almost four decades after it first opened its doors.

JACK ARTS Scotland worked with Booksellers Association and artists Jacqueline Briggs and Jack Stamp to create two unique and colourful murals in Glasgow – one on our drum at St Enoch’s Square and another on an 8-sheet panel on Blythswood Street – which celebrated local book stores and highlighted the festival’s theme of “Bookshops Making a Difference”.

‘Bookshops hold a really nice place in my heart – it’s a place of solace, you can come off a busy street… and disappear into your own world. For this artwork I really wanted to get across being really lost in a good book – and being able to choose where you want to go’ – Jacqueline Briggs

‘The mural is a depiction of the interior of a bookshop – and each section is like looking into a window which represents a different popular genre of book’ – Jack Stamp

They scan the ground in front of them so they can walk, they don’t really look at things incredibly well, with an intensity.

Throughout the summer JACK ARTS Scotland brings these festivals to life on the streets of Edinburgh and Glasgow; our poster, billboard and drum sites are a cultural noticeboard of campaigns from the Book, Film, International and Politics festivals. We partnered with the Art Festival, for their 20th birthday celebration, showcasing work from Rosie’s Disobedient Press across the city, as well as their own colourful campaign posters.

From the ground floor up, the flower-filled campaign spares no detail; an engaging window display on Charing Cross Road welcomes you in, guiding you through the store with custom installations, including flower cart book stand dressed with potted plants.   Directional signage guides you towards the cover-inspired vinyl branding on the elevator doors (and custom lift decal) leading you to the 5^th level and the verdant installation that awaits.

From original sketches and digital 3D renders to onsite installation, our Creative Studio have nurtured the campaign from seed, taking influence from exclusive stills from the film to craft an immersive floral installation across the entire floor. From colour pallet matching to ensuring the fresh florals selected were accurate, the shop is a true film replica and opens onto the bookshop floor as if it were always there – an immersive, fragrant set that includes space to sit and read, and framed led-screen to animate the space and connect the installation to the cinematic release.

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman, explores sisterhood, secrets and survival. ‘Deep underground, thirty-nine women are kept in isolation in a cage. Above ground, a world awaits.’ The surreal novel follows the women’s escape and survival in a strange and deserted world.

Together with Penguin, we crafted a creative campaign that bridges the gap between online viral moments and offline interaction in our shared spaces – our street-level 48 sheet at Old Street emerges from beneath the surface, surrounded by fragments of broken pavement slabs that were disrupted during its ascent from the world below. The novel’s cover is replicated with cutout silhouette overlayed with a copper foiled moon adding to the campaigns intrigue.  From sketch to real-life the creative idea embodied the novel’s key themes, incorporated its powerful tagline ‘Underground, one girl’s courage lights the way’ and transformed the original cover design with contemporary audiences in mind.

The workshop brought participants from China, Sudan, India and Turkey together, bringing rich cultural references to the creative sessions: 

‘Their stories had an impact on me.  The dreams, families, lives they had to give up, the seemingly endless wait for the results of their applications, which almost seemed like a purgatory to me, as their new lives are unable to start until applications are approved…   

The workshops reinforced my belief that everyone is essentially an artist/creative. I will always remember how some people came along and immediately showed off their creative skills, and others, who swore they weren’t creative, but realised they actually were after they started selecting images, cutting, sticking, drawing and collaging.  The children were confident in taking part, with no inhibitions. 

For this work, it was important for me to incorporate some of the elements of participant’s family pictures, which they sent to me via mobile phone.   These are included without revealing identities and include children’s hands making a heart shape, and daffodils photographed in a city park, symbolising birth and new beginnings.  I have included the sea and the land as elements for human sustenance, also as references to treacherous and long journeys, and sand timers as symbols of their time which they have given up in leaving a place, and given again in waiting –  all in one lifetime.”  - Ngadi Smart

A selection of artworks from the retrospective hit the streets of London in citywide takeovers featuring self-portraits from the artists ongoing Somnyama Ngonyama series – translated as ‘Hail the Dark Lioness’ they use these reflective images to explore themes of labour, racism, and sexual politics. “The aim of my project is to speak about historical cases, confronting the politics of race and pigment in the photographic archive,” The resulting imagery resonates in poster format to the passing viewer – the arresting portraits tell their stories through styling and texture, paired with the bold white exhibition lettering making for a striking poster display.

The participatory arts project was created through collaborative dialogue that unfolded through a series of thinking-through-making workshops. The takeovers at our sites on Maxwell Street, Charlotte Street, Eglington Street and Kilmarnock Road, which pair the resulting collages with provocations on the concept of monuments, expand exhibitions at CCA: Centre for Contemporary Arts and the School of Health and Wellbeing, University of Glasgow.

Across its locations, the project presents work created with different media and techniques including videos, collages and monuments made with the soap, with an aim to challenge and disrupt our understanding of what makes a ‘monument’ – providing space to re-imagine them as platforms for the diverse voices that make up Glasgow’s social fabric.

Monuments for the Present has been co-created by Monuments for Equality (Paria Goodarzi, Mia Gubbay and Francesca Zappia) and Beauty Osayomwanbor Nosa, Inna Hordiiko, Mehri Abdi, Rezvan Faghani, Sara Abdelnasser, Shahid Mahmood, Sadaf Syeda, Tanisha Sarkar, Tara Gomary, Tomilola Owolabi, Valentina Vodolazska and Valentyna Dolottseva from the Maryhill Integration Network Museum of Things Art Group.

In the spirit of celebration, and with the sun in full shine, we welcomed the group to our Maxwell Street site to mark the moment the work was installed by our street team ahead of the festival launch.

For the festival, artist-led publisher Rosie’s Disobedient Press has commissioned Teneu, a book project featuring Helen Charman, Adrien Howard, Francis Jones, Mason Leaver-Yap, Joey Simons, Joanna Stawnicka, Lisette May Monroe, and Martha Adonai Williams, with illustrations by Sasha Staicu.

The Glasgow-based publisher’s work centres on writing from marginalised perspectives with a focus on queer, working class and feminist writers, and this project explores the mythology of Teneu, also known as St. Enoch, Glasgow’s forgotten mediaeval first mother and parent to St. Mungo, the city’s patron saint. St. Enoch is rumoured to be buried under Glasgow city centre’s largest shopping centre, a dominating glass pyramid building and the only thing in the city that bears her name.

Alongside delivering a promotional campaign for the publication around the city, we were excited to work with Rosie’s Disobedient Press to platform elements of the publication at our dedicated art site on West Graham Street. The lightboxes presented a series of illustrated ornaments by Staicu that feature throughout the publication, alongside lines taken from the commissioned texts in English and Gaelic.

‘I have been an outsider to Scottishness before I wedged myself into it and I remember finding out that the thistle is the national plant of Scotland. I saw the thistle with an outsider’s eyes and felt moved that such a thorny unapproachable plant would be treated with fondness. In time it became invisible to me again – too omnipresent to register as real. When I was working on the cover I thought of how a thistle is like an inverted rose – feminine but violent, persistent, cultivating of self, defender of its own right to exist. It became unfamiliar to me again, and in this way I saw it as new. I pictured the urban legend of Teneu being buried under the eponymous St Enoch. I pictured her legend and legacy permeating it, the dirt under it, the sky above it. I pictured her entering and stretching any frame she is in, the cover frame, the triangle. Glasgow as a structure of frames into which her network of stems and roots and thorns and flowers will inevitably grow.

In drawing the ornaments I thought of roots, of esoteric trinkets, of objects that just through their present invoke a different time, of objects that are timeless. Symmetry felt really important – of two sides meeting in the middle or growing from the centre outwards, of balance.’ – Sasha Staicu

Le Bas creates work that exists at the intersection of the personal and the political, aligning their experiences as a Romani person with perspectives on land, movement, gender, and discrimination.

Presented on our sites across the city for the celebrated contemporary art biennial Glasgow International – the piece is based on an original artwork first produced for Safe European Home? an installation Le Bas and her husband created outside the parliament building in Vienna.

Le Bas speaks of the origin of the work in 2005 ‘I was alarmed that the Conservative party took about full-page adverts in the tabloids and broadsheets wanting to take away the Human Rights Act for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people in the U.K… of course this has been an ongoing campaign against many people since that time.’

Delainia: 17071965 Unfolding is presented at Tramway until 13 October, as part of Glasgow International. You can find out more on the project and explore the full festival programme here.

The instant New York Times best seller and winner of the Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction, journeys down a rabbit-hole of conspiracies and misinformation online, exploring how its rise has inadvertently been fuelled by political motives. Kickstarted by a true case of mistaken identity online, where the author was continuously mistaken for a right-wing anti-vaxxer sharing the same first name, the book documents Kleins obsession with the ‘Other Naomi’, her doppelganger, and the ‘Mirror World’ of wild conspiracies and right-wing paranoia she exists in.

We worked with Havas Entertainment to bring the campaign to the streets of London, featuring the book cover poster design in 4 sheet format. Klein’s digitally altered self-portrait fills space and repeats across our takeover sites – one Naomi? Two Naomi? Three? A paper and paste copy and paste, a clever use of space to visualise the book’s title and bring the extremities of the digital word crashing back to reality.

Literary powerhouses James Patterson and Michael Crichton collide in a gripping new thriller, Eruption. Set against the backdrop of an imminent volcanic disaster, the novel uncovers a chilling military secret that surpasses any danger posed by natural forces. Eruption promises a fast-paced journey laden with scientific intricacy’s, high stakes and dramatic twists. 

Together with Havas we brought the action to the streets in a looming site takeover that mirrors the scale of the novel’s impending threat.  From the moment the creative billboard was installed, a clock counted down until the book was released.. 72 hours later (the clock then displayed the release date for the remainder of the campaign). By day hazmat suited workers warned the passing public of the danger to come in an interactive stunt; by night, the large light-box installation spewed sparks of molten lava alongside the glowing red countdown – an ominous visualisation of the danger to come. A creative publishing campaign erupting onto the streets and into the book charts.

Glasgow-based artist Molly Hankinson, who we previously worked with for Your Space Or Mine, was tasked to bring some of the football communities favourite Scottish Cup moments to life at the entrance to Scotland’s national stadium, in her unique illustrative style:

‘What an honour to pay tribute to these top moments in Scottish Cup History from both the mens and the women’s sides. A highlight for me was getting to represent Rose Reilly who is such a huge part of women’s football history. Our local pub is named after her! Huge thanks to Hana at Sure Signs who assisted me with install. As local artists it’s an incredible moment when you are asked to paint Scotland’s National Stadium.’

Coinciding with World IBD Day, JACK ARTS Scotland teamed up with the Foundation and creative agency MadeBrave in Glasgow to ‘roll out something completely unexpected’… a giant working QR code made of toilet rolls.

With an additional splash of homegrown humour from street artist Conzo Throb, the billboard cleverly employs out-of-home as ‘a portal to people stuck in-their-homes.’ When scanned, the QR code reveals a powerful film exploring the uncomfortable and isolating realities of living with IBD, with contributions from former Rangers manager Alex McLeish MBE and musician Rick Parfitt Jr. As well as gaining huge traction across social media, the Foundation’s innovative campaign was featured in The Drum, STV, and Famous Campaigns.

The interactive sites hold reproductions of pages from the book, containing a series of ‘event scores’ (which are performance art scripts that describe actions to be performed rather than dialogue).  We took these immersive instructions onto the street, for passers-by to tear off and interactive with, following the instructions if they wish. The campaign aims to engage with the public outside the gallery walls, bringing conceptual art to the shared space.

By reframing ten toxic myths about ADHD, from ‘I am lazy’ to ‘everybody hates me’, the couple’s new book Small Talk empowers ADHD-ers and those who love them to break free of neurotypical standards and live their lives with more compassion, humour and hope. 

To celebrate the book’s publication, JACK ARTS teamed up with Penguin to create a unique interactive billboard. Richard and Roxanne hit the streets of London, inviting passers-by to fill in colourful speech bubbles with their best advice for living with ADHD and attach them directly to the billboard. The colourful street-side campaign also offered a free audio sample of the book via QR code and created a buzz around the book’s launch across the couple’s social media channels.

We worked with Talon on a series of location-specific billboards in the middle of the city’s buzzing transport hubs – from Oxford Road and Piccadilly to Deansgate and Salford Central – to bring the app to life. Shouting out drivers who might be ‘stuck in a jam’ to ‘try the tram’, giant signs spilled from the frame to promote the app, sign-posting the nearest tram stop and highlighting the low-cost options for commuters, in all-too-familiar bright yellow.

Exploring a range of different Lomography cameras during a collaborative workshop with Tiny Changes, Scotland’s first national youth mental health charity, a group of young carers aged 12–15 years old were encouraged to view the world in unexpected ways through the camera lens. Over 400 images were shortlisted to 12 to showcase in a city-wide public art display across our poster site and drums in Edinburgh.

Khadea, who led on the project, said: ‘Our public parks are places we connect, shift our perception of the everyday through the magic of analogue. Through this workshop, we captured what it means to be outdoors in green spaces and finding moments of joy!’.

In the spirit of working to help young minds feel better, this creative project offered the group respite from caring responsibilities, a sense of belonging and connection to their local environment.

When Forms Come Alive showcases “irregular eccentric forms that have a sense of life” – From giant disco-balls and vast rooms full of bulbous forms, to walls of foam that fizz gently in the warehouse-style space; the works are inspired by movement and the fluidity of our shared experience.  The broad spectrum of works and styles within the walls of the exhibition is echoed in the array of sites selected for our launch campaign on the street. From our new digital screen at Waterloo to our mega 96 sheet at Broadway Market and all street-level formats in-between, London was introduced to a selection of the eccentric sculptural forms to open the show.

To celebrate the launch of this year’s programme – Rituals That Unite Us – we joined forces with EIF and Bright Signals to paint the town yellow, creating a giant pop-up brochure installation and a series of free performances to surprise and delight passers-by. Travelling to some of Edinburgh’s most iconic locations, our ‘Big Brochure’ opened to reveal world-class performers; contemporary folk band Breabach at the festival hub on Castle Hill, Scottish Ballet Youth Exchange at St Andrew’s Square, soprano Emma Morwood at St James Quarter, and festival director Nicola Benedetti at Usher Hall, who played a short excerpt of The Lark Ascending on her violin and later answered questions on her top picks from the 2024 programme.  

Festival staff were also on hand to give out real brochures, some of which included a coveted ‘yellow ticket’ that gave lucky winners a chance for an all-expenses-paid opening weekend package to the festival.

To celebrate Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in March, this cheeky creative raises awareness that prostate exams are often not the intrusive and dreaded finger-up-the-bottom. Instead, a simple blood test taken from the arm.  

As such, even though the campaign appears to be bums on billboards – they’re much less shocking (and cleverly angled) shots of arms.

Drawing audiences in from nearby Birmingham, we joined forces with Shakespeare Media to tantalise theatregoers with the RSC’s new spring season, bringing two very different tales to the vibrant streets of Digbeth. 

For their refreshingly sharp and contemporary adaptation of Love’s Labour’s Lost, we created a giant eye-catching creative billboard that brought central character Berowne (played by Bridgerton’s Luke Thompson) out of the frame, and created a dazzling lenticular build for a new staging of Hanif Kureishi’s award-winning novel The Buddha of Suburbia.

It’s high time his story was told, and Tales from the Dancefloor, co-authored with bestseller Luke Bainbridge, reveals stories from the scene that explore the people, parties and politics that make Manchester thrive. We worked with Harper Collins to bring the story to life on the street of the city he lives and breathes; the book cover design reimagined on poster sites, takeovers and billboards across the city including hand-picked sites near the venues the book revisits, with bold neon green lettering and archival after-hours imagery.

JACK ARTS Scotland partnered with Articulate to launch a new groundbreaking street poster campaign, #StartWithArts, taking over the streets of Glasgow with poetry written by the charity’s young Creative Changemakers. Amplifying young Scottish voices in bold black and white, the campaign celebrates a landmark moment for children’s rights in Scotland, the first devolved nation to incorporate the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into domestic law, as well as highlighting the importance of breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes. Articulate’s Laura Frood explains, “through this campaign, we aim to not only increase access to artistic opportunities but to transform lives and foster a sense of belonging within the arts community.” 

The posters included a QR code to find out more, encouraging passers-by to pledge to support their campaign, as well as take part in a series of coinciding workshops, exhibitions and events designed to engage and empower Scotland’s care-experienced youth.

Collaborating with 4th Estate, JACK ARTS brought news of the book’s publication to London with a glamorous gold foil billboard, a mere ‘sashay away’ from the legendary Royal Vauxhall Tavern. For our gag-worthy experiential campaign, local queens Kyran Thrax and Stealia Jobs served passers-by with custom-made fans printed with the book’s title and a nod to RuPaul’s iconic song ‘Call Me Mother’, and members of The Groove Chorus acted as ‘Ca-Ru-llers’ for the day, serenading the streets with well-known disco numbers as well as classics from RuPaul’s own back catalogue.

TravelSupermarket, the UK’s leading one-stop shop for comparing holidays, has provided the nation with ‘super holidays at super prices’ for 20 years.  

Collaborating with Meanwhile and Brazil Street, we brought some badly needed summer sunshine to the heart of Manchester, kicking off the holiday-booking season in style. Reflecting the huge range of holidays available from TravelSupermarket, a 20-foot stack of 100 poolside inflatables – from crocodiles to watermelons, unicorns to pineapples – toppled out of a real shopping trolley, all magically attached to our billboard at Shudehill interchange. 

As well as delighting and inspiring thousands of commuters and passers-by, the campaign made a splash across social media, featuring in The Drum, Prolific North, TravelWeekly, and Creative Moment.

Teaming up with Kinetic, JACK ARTS produced a minimal but powerful creative billboard and poster takeover to bring the book’s cover to life on the streets of London, with an eye-catching giant pack of cards spilling from the frame. At night, the billboard lit up to reveal a single illuminated window pane, with the silhouette of a lone figure looking out onto the city, evoking the themes of the book but also reflecting on modern-day traders who continue to roll the dice on the global economy.

Filled with insights and heartfelt advice, this empowering toolkit is designed for anyone seeking genuine connections in the 21st century. 

Hooking up with Penguin for the book’s launch, JACK ARTS created an interactive billboard in the heart of London, asking passers-by to share how they define love. The chalkboard was framed by bold graphic posters, evoking the book’s pink and red cover, which offered a download of a taster chapter via QR code.

Teaming up with HarperCollins on a two-stage campaign, we brought Anna O’s notorious case to the streets of London. Lighting up the night sky with a huge creative billboard to celebrate the release of the hardback edition, and later waking up commuters with our bespoke coffee stand near Kings Cross in time for the paperback release. As well as handing out faux newspapers detailing the complex case, baristas served up free branded coffees either marked with ‘Anna O is guilty’ or ‘Anna O is not guilty’ and complete with scannable QR codes inviting curious passers-by to get a taste of the first chapter.

Ahead of the event at Aviva Studios, JACK ARTS hosted The Ear of Britain on our poster site in the centre of Manchester and locals shared stories around war, knife crime, privatisation, equality and naturally… the weather. Even local journalist and musician John Robb visited to leave his message for Britain. For those unable to visit in person, messages can be recorded and sent via WhatsApp. The recorded snippets will then form an evolving soundscape curated by Matt Black, founder of visionary record label Ninja Tune, that reflects the collective consciousness of the country.

On Valentine’s Day, Don’t Panic launched a ‘love calculator’ via their website, to help couples assess the compatibility of their relationship under new Conservative policy that comes into effect this Spring. Dubbed as the ‘Cost of Loving Crisis’, data suggests it would be impossible for up to 70% of UK workers, including nurses and teachers, to bring their family into the UK, as the earning bracket required for a visa is set to rise £29,000 in Spring 2024, and again in 2025 to over £37,000. 

Using our billboard site in Whitechapel, our new digital site near Shepherd’s Bush roundabout, and flyposters across London, we shared a QR code that takes passerby directly to the novel compatibility test. Featuring Rishi Sunak as Cupid, our sites and the QR code brought the campaign to life across the capital.

Anyone who missed out could scan a QR code from the poster to redeem half-price tickets via Northern’s website and app, ensuring everyone had a chance to hop aboard this month.

Created by artist and filmmaker Pieter van der Houwen in collaboration with photographer Lachlan Young, and supported by Creative Scotland, Unesco and Refuweegee, What We Carried With Us is a project that humanises the transnational experiences of migrants whilst preserving their anonymity. The objects are photographed almost clinically on a stark white background, accompanied by personal narratives in English and the migrants’ native tongues. We partnered on the project to create a street gallery on our poster site in Glasgow’s bustling east end, sparking crucial dialogues on the impact of migration and what it means to leave your life behind.

Launching at Cardiff’s Sherman Theatre, the production then travels across the country to Aberystwyth, Bangor, Llanelli and Brecon, accompanied by Feral Fest, an opportunity for young Welsh creatives to learn from industry professionals and gain invaluable experience in creating music for theatre.

The interactive design takes the book cover as influence; the 3D title emerges from the site as if floating, with draping foliage barely concealing a skull beneath; bespoke tear-away Tarot cards present the passing public with their fortune (if they dare to take it), and oversized Peacock butterfly’s move in the breeze as if they have just landed on the frame.  The effect is entrancing and brings the magic of the novel to life on the streets.

We created an exclusive exhibition on the 5th floor of Foyles in London with Penguin, bringing the Argylle Bookshop to life, paired with themed window display to intrigue the passing public on Charing Cross Road. The installation included handmade diamond bookshelves, giant book build, decorative floor vinyl, display stands and a bespoke pattern backdrop that mirrored designs from scenes in the film. Our creative studio had the pleasure of working on this brief from the very start, using the book cover as inspiration, our in-house designers mocked up the space to create an immersive experience to give the novel the focus it deserves.  The bookshop within a bookshop welcomed their first customers, the film actors, who did a surprise book signing, bridging the gap between the pages and the silver screen with an impactful bookshop installation to fully display our creative capabilities.

The gallery’s recent exhibition Ffocws 2023 brings together the work of fourteen emerging and early career artists from Wales who ‘challenge the process, medium and application of photography’ and explore a wide range of themes such as identity, community and migration as well as the impact of technology. Artists were chosen from a pool of recent graduates from across Wales, as well as via an open call collaboration with Cardiff M.A.D.E. 

Bringing works from Ffocws out of the gallery and onto the streets, we partnered with them on a vibrant street poster campaign across Cardiff to promote the show’s extended run.

Collaborating with Cogent, we created an innovative creative billboard with real household items hanging from our site at Seven Sisters Road. The items featured would either protect against the elements – a tent, sleeping bag, gloves, jacket and hot water bottle – or bring comfort, like a child’s teddy bear. By using such eye-catching visuals, the campaign highlighted the stark impact of the city’s housing crisis on ordinary people and families and aimed to increase awareness and prompt donations over the festive period.

Bringing the exhibition outdoors, we partnered with Hackney Museum to create a pop-up gallery. Across two phases, we spotlighted a selection of photographs from the exhibition on the streets in which they were original made, such as Neil Martinson’s portrait of striking nurses from 1982, Colin O’Brien’s eerie photograph of Broadway Market’s frozen canal and Turner Prize-winner Rachel Whiteread’s famous image of the now-demolished Clapton Park Estate. Produced in large-scale across our billboard and poster takeover sites, the photographs remind passers-by of the importance of highlighting the rich historical tapestry of Hackney as well as how much the area has changed in half a century.

The Scotland Women’s National Team, made up of key players such as captain Rachel Corsie, midfield powerhouse Lisa Evans and hometown hero Lauren Davidson, have grown in strength over the last few years, inspiring thousands of women and girls all over the country to watch and play, and proving football is for everyone.  

Working with Glasgow-based agency Think Alt and the Scottish Football Association, we brought news of the SWNT’s home fixtures to the streets with a poster campaign featuring striker Claire Emslie and a large-scale hand-painted mural by illustrator (and previous Your Space Or Mine artist) Mollie Hankinson. Mollie’s work creates ‘bold and subtly detailed, inclusive celebrations of feminine vitality,’ perfectly suited to the brief of creating a powerful tribute to the national team at Eglinton Street. Speaking about her involvement in the project, Mollie said: 

“I was really excited to be given the opportunity to represent Scotland’s national women’s team as any push for further and more sustained visibility for women and other marginalised genders in sports is always needed. There is still a long way to go in terms of equality in sports, but to be able to champion the team who are paving the way for increased coverage, funding and visibility in Scotland has been a real honour. I’m looking forward to going to see them play at Hampden in December!”

This year the festival invited leading photographers and writers to collaborate with the city’s residents on ‘Dreamlines’, a project that tells the stories of Bristol’s high streets, highlighting their importance to communities as ‘places of communion and congregation’. Bringing together artists with the local people in a range of workshops and creative sessions, the project placed a strong emphasis on the city’s heritage, asking ‘how the past can foster identity and belonging today’. 

The project culminated in a programme of several outdoor exhibitions, and we partnered with the festival to bring the work of two Bristol-based photographers to the streets in which they were made; Esther May-Campbell‘s powerful black and white portraits of the community of Church Road, and Lua Ribeira’s exploration of Stapleton Road, embracing her experiences of chance encounters on the high street.

While Forms of Life stunned visitors across the summer, JACK ARTS supported Tate’s venture to do something special in order to celebrate the exhibition beyond the gallery walls – creating a public art piece majestic in both scale and size. Curating a bespoke mural site, and artist Ellie Tate to create the piece inspired by two artists whose work resonates with her deeply, the project took up its home in Camden Market’s Hawley Wharf. Reimagining The Ten Largest, no. 2: childhood and Tableau I, the mural was a monumental tribute to two greats in art history, and to a fantastic exhibition that reaffirmed their position.

The first, projecting some of its famous faces and new brand identity (designed by Edit Brand Studio) on the outside of the gallery to light up St Martin’s Place at night, much to the delight of passers-by. 

Next, we worked with them on an experiential campaign that brought six of the NPG’s most notable ‘sitters’ to life, with look-a-like actors travelling across London encountering people on the street to spark conversation around the gallery’s reopening and its famous collection, as well as being highlighted on Instagram. Sitters included William Shakespeare travelling from the Globe, Horatio Nelson passing his monument in Trafalgar Square, and Dame Christabel Pankhurst at Hyde Park Corner, the site of many Suffragette meetings and rallies, who all convened at the gallery to reunite with their famous portraits – and to enjoy a celebratory cake made by Great British Bake-Off contestant Janusz Domagała.

To celebrate the publication of the hugely anticipated book, we worked with Harper Collins on a BMS award-winning mega-campaign across its release. Firstly ramping up the excitement with a teaser campaign of posters and clings that just featured the book’s striking yellow cover and black eyes, followed by unveiling the book’s title across our sites in London, Manchester and Glasgow, including a very special lenticular creative billboard that followed passers-by on Borough High Street. 

We didn’t stop there – we also created an in-store installation at Waterstones Piccadilly with a self-typing ghost typewriter and deathly pandan pancakes (visited by Kuang herself), and a live-painted mural for Blackwell’s Oxford which accompanied the author to a launch event. Recently, Yellowface has also made an appearance across our sites in Edinburgh in time for the city’s book festival, plus in chalk graffiti to celebrate Bookshop Day across six bookshops in London.

We are delighted to announce the multi-faceted campaign has won Marketing Strategy of the Year at the British Book Awards – it was a pleasure to bring this captivating campaign to life on our city streets across the country – the judges described it as ‘an audacious, clever and very hard-working campaign that took every opportunity that came its way.’

We created a blockbuster launch for the novel at Waterstones Piccadilly with Penguin Random House. Celebrating the wonder of classic cinema, a hand-painted vintage box office was placed at the store’s entrance, with two cinema ushers handing out popcorn to customers on their way in. Our installation was paired with a creative billboard at Finsbury Park covered in gold foiled cinema tickers, which passers-by could tear off and exchange in-store for a free copy of the book.

To drum up excitement ahead of the festival, we worked with FLY on a street poster campaign across Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee. With posters showcasing some of the highlights from a truly stacked line-up, it was the perfect way to take the final festival countdown to social media.

Shot by Juergen Teller, the campaign contrasts street photography with shots taken in a theatre, and models posing as a ‘troop of renaissance performers’ on a stark black backdrop. The street posters featured across a multitude of formats in Manchester and Cardiff including our street-side drums (beautifully utilising that distinction in photographic styles by flipping landscape images portrait), and alternating images on takeovers for a checkerboard effect.

Team Love worked with us to bring their homegrown festival’s most eclectic line-up to date – including Years & Years, Fatboy Slim, Four Tet, Dr Banana, Jyoty, Sugababes, Kelis, Andy C, Romy and Groove Armada – to the streets of Bristol. Taking over our billboards at Old Market Roundabout and West Street, the campaign kicked off Bristol’s festival season in style.

For the novel’s paperback release, we worked with Hachette’s Headline Publishing Group on a fitting celebration. Taking over one of our Brixton sites, a creative billboard brought Honey & Spice’s much-loved characters to the fore. It was the perfect way to mark the occasion: appearing on Babalola’s Instagram and Twitter accounts, she explains exactly why herself.

Calling on the city to ‘make some noise’, the orchestra’s latest street poster campaign uses bold typography and live imagery to launch new branding and an epic season, 2023-24: CBSO Remastered. From ‘classics to crowd pleasers, symphonies to soundtracks, heavy metal to smash hits’, the unmissable series of concerts is bound to bring inspiration to Birmingham and beyond.

Our Finsbury Park site turned into a giant working till (or ’till-board’); the mega-size receipts reeled out of the creative billboard summing-up the essential cost of living vs the inadequate Universal Credit allowance. The stark reality of the imbalance spills onto the pavement, paired with statistics and quotes detailing difficult financial decisions real people have had to make, like choosing between having the lights on or eating dinner. 

The receipts were teared off by passers-by and fly-posted in real-time onto local poster sites, filling the streets of with eye-opening stats aiming to raise awareness of the ‘Essentials Guarantee’ which would ensure receivers of Universal Credit always have their fundamental costs covered. Actor Charlotte Ritchie and singer-songwriter Joy Crookes also joined in the launch, and as well as being featured in It’s Nice That, the Trussell Trust also took to social media to support the campaign with videos and receipts of personal stories around the cost-of-living crisis.

We took over a spot at Farringdon Station with an interactive billboard and invited people to write what friendship means to them on post-it notes that were then stuck on the boards. The author was even there to meet passers-by and get involved. The billboard and project was a huge hit, with tons of people stopping to share exactly what they love about friendship and what it means to them.

To bring the line-up to the streets of the city, we worked with Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Festival on a colourful street poster campaign that took over our sites in Selly Oak, Solihull, Digbeth and Aston.

To bring this year’s event to Bristol and Birmingham, we worked alongside the Hay Festival on vibrant street poster takeovers of our sites in each city. Asserting its ability to inspire and encourage imaginations to run free, the creatives also included some of this year’s huge and varied line-up – featuring the likes of Stormzy, Mary Berry, Baaba Maal, Dua Lipa, Helena Bonham Carter, Douglas Stuart, Margaret Atwood, Elif Shafak and Gary Younge.

While Spain and the Hispanic World is a landmark exhibition storying the culture’s art and hertiage through over 150 fascinating works, Souls Grown Deep like the Rivers is a showcase of Black artists from the Southeastern United States ‘who created some of the most spectacular and ingenious works of the last century’. Forming the basis for our campaign’s eye-catching poster artwork, triptychs of highlights from each exhibition made a huge impact on the street.

To celebrate the release, we teamed up with Penguin on a creative billboard in Manchester made from leaves holding basil and marjoram seeds, and a QR code revealing more information about the story. It encouraged passers-by to take a leaf off the billboard and ‘start [their] own adventure’ by growing the seeds at home. The author even paid the site a visit himself.

Bringing the novel to life, we recreated Supper at Six’s set at Waterstones Piccadilly, complete with iconic clock, lab coats, a personalised clapperboard and Zott’s director’s chair.

To celebrate the release of such a unique book, we teamed up with HarperCollins to build a window display at Waterstones Liverpool that showcases the book’s beautiful illustrations, recreating the book’s final scene with detailed props: scrolls with handwritten prophecies, vials of magic potions and hundreds of daffodils. The installation was a huge hit, drawing crowds into the store to learn more.

While depictions of women and femininity have evolved over the centuries, this has remained a constant. Thinking about how desirability and attractiveness can be equated with success or ‘achievement’, clothing has often been used to reinforce these ideals – but it can also, as Worrall notes, ‘challenge or liberate our sense of self and assertion of our identity. The question we need to ask ourselves then is: am I really wearing what I want, or what somebody else wants?’

We partnered with Jessica Worrall to install The Shaping of Beauty on our sites in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dundee, taking her message onto the streets of each city. Working alongside collage workshops with school students, the project seeks to truly engage with those who witness it.

Over the course of the weekend, the station’s forward-thinking output is reflected through the programme: with Loyle Carner, Wu-Lu, Christine and the Queens, Lava La Rue, Arlo Parks, and The Big Moon featuring alongside an eclectic DJ line-up including Don Letts, Daniel Avery, Tarzsa, Erol Alkan, and Jamz Supernova. Billed at the O2 Victoria Warehouse, Band on the Wall and RAMONA, the announcement stacks up more credentials for Manchester to add to its already-impressive reputation for live music culture.

Ahead of the festival kicking off, we worked with the BBC to take its line-up across Manchester. With a street poster campaign covering the Northern Quarter, Deansgate, Shudehill, Oxford Road, and Piccadilly Station, it put the festival’s ‘music beyond the mainstream’ policy front and centre in the city.

Taking over one of our Mile End sites, The Mosaic Rooms’ commission is a prime example of how to stir up feeling through street posters. The non-profit art gallery is dedicated to supporting and promoting contemporary culture from the Arab world and beyond. Bringing Magdy’s work onto the street takes their work further through the city, beyond the reaches of gallery walls.

We collaborated with Hachette and Total Media to celebrate the release of Maame, taking over the streets of Croydon with a bespoke hand-painted mural of the central character on a warm, fun and hopeful backdrop. With words that read ‘Be the heroine of your own life’, it was a beautiful message to send to people who might know what it’s like to walk in main character Maddie’s shoes.

In the current climate, it’s not easy to sustain an independent space. The cost-of-living crisis has already caused plenty of DIY ventures to close or take undefined hiatuses – but Bonjour is determined to keep being the invaluable space that it is. In order to spotlight everything Bonjour has to offer and celebrate the publication of its limited-edition newspaper, we worked with Tom Joyes to share their fundraising project concept – ‘Yes, I can see the stars’ – across Glasgow’s streets.

Storying the communal experience of Bonjour through a gorgeous ’90s-inspired shoot that brought together many of its communities’ talents, the models, hair, make-up, photography, and styling transport the essence of the space to printed paper. Cosmic, blissfully hazy, and blending the future and the past – ‘Yes, I can see the stars’ evokes awe, excitement, confidence, and defiance. Showcased on our street poster sites across the city, the city became Bonjour’s own – just as it should be.

You can read more about our partnership with Bonjour here.

Its new five-part podcast series, At the Barbs, aimed to distil all of this into listenable conversations and analysis. Exploring fresh creativity and culture with DJ and presenter Robert Bruce on hosting duties, each episode saw him joined by ‘some of the freshest names from the world of film, music and art.’  

To launch At the Barbs in London, we worked with Havas Entertainment to bring Elephant Room’s campaign to the streets.

Championing their initiative for the third year in a row, we extended our partnership beyond Feel Good Club’s home city of Manchester by also flooding the streets of Sheffield, Liverpool and Birmingham with bold words of love and encouragement – ‘I want you to know you are one hundred thousand percent going to get through this’ and ‘I want you to know you’re allowed to need someone to talk to’.  

To spread these motivational messages even further afield, viewers were encouraged to ‘pass it on’ by scanning a QR code to send a free postcard to a friend or loved one via the Feel Good Club website. The posters received over twenty thousand likes via the posts they featured in across Feel Good Club’s social media channels.

We worked with the Bristol Old Vic on a striking poster campaign, which mixed bold graphics and text for a dazzling checkerboard effect, across our sites in Bristol city centre.
