In Another Place reaches new audiences

A successful PR campaign has seen In Another Place – 10 billboards, 10 places, 6 weeks – gain profile across the region and nationally!

The project has been covered in print and online by 69 DegreesLeft LionArts Beat, Hey What’s on in Notts (preview & review), Great Central,(preview and review), Visit Nottinghamshire, the Derbyshire Times, The Mansfield Chad, the Belper News, the Derby Telegraph

This is great, and more exciting still is that it’s been noticed by the BBC!

After an initial interview with Liz and Theo Miller – Leicester Print Workshop’s billboard artist – in the lead up to In Another Place going live, BBC Radio Leicester conducted another interview with Theo in June.

BBC Radio Nottingham carried out an interview, firstly with UK Young Artists’ billboard artist Charlie Birtles and Backlit’s artist Ryan Heath, followed by a further interview with CVAN EM Director Elizabeth Hawley-Lingham and Charlie, in front of her billboard in Hyson Green, Nottingham.

BBC East Midlands also covered the project with an interview with Liz beside QUAD’s billboard by artist Joey Holder. This was complemented by an interview by BBC Radio Derby with Joey herself.

Of course, this is all alongside the fantastic public programme that our In Another Place venues are delivering. See what’s on:
