Excel has commissioned London-based artist Helen Marshall, famous for creating giant mosaics made up of thousands of individual portraits, to create a unique piece of art to mark the opening of our new 25,000sqm ICC expansion as well as our 25th anniversary in 2025.
Thousands of images are needed to create the giant artwork, which will stand six metres wide and be positioned prominently in the new expansion. As part of the submission process, we'd love you to include a short explanation of your images to help inspire the artist.
The commission is entitled Face to Face: Connecting Lives, to reflect the celebration of live events and how they bring communities together.
Excel will shortly be opening its state-of-the-art ICC expansion, which will make us Europe's largest fully integrated conference and exhibition venue, helping to put London at the forefront of the global events industry.
The artwork will be mounted within the new space, as a welcoming feature for everyone who visits.
