Trailer Wraps & Defining The Potential Of Art Everywhere

By Bob Oliver


When it comes to art, in general, museums might be some of the first establishments that come to mind. Maybe you're more interested in spending time at an art gallery where it seems like just about everyone can showcase their work, provided it's engaging enough. However, what about the idea of art being utilized in methods that can be associated with marketing, trailer wraps included? This is where Art Everywhere has come into play and it's a rather promising project to boot.

The Guardian posted an article that talked about how Art Everywhere, a campaign in the UK, is being put to use. For those not in the know, Art Everywhere is the biggest art exhibition in the country and it has placed a series of different works across 30,000 billboards and posters alike. To say that this is a great method for the sake of awareness would be an understatement. After all, sooner or later, someone is going to take notice of these various pieces of art.

As someone who has interest in this particular method, one has to wonder if it can actually be taken further. Yes, items like billboards and posters are tremendous; no one will be able to dispute this. However, it wouldn't be out of the question to consider that vehicle and trailer wraps could be utilized in order to showcase various pieces of art. It's just a matter of high-quality wraps being utilized, which is where authorities such as JMR Graphics would be addressed.

I believe that there is much to be said about Art Everywhere as it relates to advertising. Let's say that you are driving along and you see a billboard show an ad featuring a new diner in town, only for it to shift and showcase a digital painting that a little-known artist made. To say that this can help to make marketing efforts a bit more interesting would be nothing short of an understatement. However, Art Everywhere has only just begun and I believe that its potential can be realized in time.

If you ask me, it has every right to be utilized time and time again because of how important art is. It's clear that there are many artists out there but the truth of the matter is that it's difficult for them to spread awareness, especially if they do not have the proper platforms for the job. Seeing as how art is sometimes seen as a more visual form of media, posters and billboards are fitting. Hopefully this is expanded upon and those in the UK can see many more captivating pieces.
