The 2013 British Arrow Awards

The British Arrow Awards are back at the Walker Art Center for another year!  The British Arrow Awards are “an eclectic mix of outrageous wit and awe-inspiring innovation from the best television, online, outdoor, and cinema ads. From high-tech extravaganzas to down-and-dirty comedy, this celebration of commercial creativity brings people back year after year.”

The Walker Art Center graciously provided me with a sneak peak of this year’s show.  The British Arrow Awards is what we all wish the Super Bowl Ads would be.  This collection of advertisements is wonderfully artistic and is very entertaining to watch.  Although many of the advertisements are comedic, there are plenty that are powerful and compelling on a more serious level.  As with art in general, the ads amuse and make you think – they have impact.

Please note that tickets for the Walker’s British Arrow Awards screenings typically sell out each year.  Don’t delay in purchasing tickets if you are interested.
