Bob & Roberta Smith, Jeremy Deller, Janette Parris and Fatima Begum have each created a brand new artwork inspired by the word ‘VOTE’ for display on billboards across England.

This spring, a major billboard campaign will be launched across England, with 10,000 postcards, a website and social media all combining to celebrate the creativity of the nation, to urge people to vote and to bring the value of the arts and culture to front of people’s minds as they enter the polling booth.

The four billboards will be complimented by the fifth artwork -  a design chosen from an open national competition for 18 – 23 year old first time voters. Each billboard site will be close to galleries, museums or cultural venues, and 10,000 postcards of the artworks will be printed. The exhibition at Peckham Platform will capture the spirit of this project by displaying the original works alongside highlights of the submissions to the nationwide competition for young artists.

2 April - 7 May
