‘Stay culturally connected’ while in quarantine is the message from Unit London who are launching lots of great initiatives to get the world excited by culture and art in quarantine.
As the global population hunkers down for an indefinite period of intense wall-staring, Unit London would love to know what’s on that wall, what artwork(s) will shepherd you through these strange and lonely times? They will be reposting some of their favourite entries.
Here’s what you have to do:
- Take a photo of some of the artwork you have at home, we want to see the art that makes U smile.
- Post this photo to Instagram using the #LivingWithArt – remember to tag @UnitLondon and the artist whose work you’re sharing.
- Sit back and wait to see if you’ve been reposted!
- Nominate a friend to see their #LivingWithArt selection.
#HereforU is an initiative to use Unit London Instagram of over 498,000 to hero emerging talent and artists which do not have a gallery.
#LivingWithArt is an initiative to engage people who are at home in corona quarantine, to celebrate the art that they own and love. To get involved, take a photo or video of your favourite pieces at home, and
#LivingWithArt Unit London will be actively re-posting people’s images on their stories to demonstrate the importance of art in the home and the inspiration it can bring.
Next month the team will also be launching a series of art lectures.
