"As client engagement experiences during lockdown go, this is unique."
Overview:
Necessity is the mother of invention and so we continue to deliver our now infamous Connoisseur’s Street Art Walking Tours to clients during lockdown using the magic of Zoom. Guests will be treated to the world’s first 100% live virtual street art walking tour of Shoreditch - armed with pro podcast microphones and selfie sticks, our street art gurus are able to replicate, as closely as humanly possible, the experience guests would have on one of our regular connoisseur’s walking tours, including the ability to ask questions and interact with our expert guides. A super fun way to virtually interact with clients during lockdown and beyond.
Background:
Ever since Neanderthal Man first started drawing on the wall of his cave artists have been using their immediate physical surroundings as a blank canvas upon which to communicate images and ideas. And let’s be clear, we’re not talking about kids who scribble “Wayne LUVS Tracey 4 EVER” on the side of a bus stop in return for a Big Mac. No, we’re talking about artists who make beautiful, vibrant and distinctive work using the urban landscape as their studio. Banksys are now auctioned at Sotheby’s and Christie’s alongside Monets and Picassos. In fact, Sotheby’s sold a painting in May 2017 by the American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat for a record-breaking $110m, not bad for an artist who started out painting graffiti. Back in 2008, David Cameron even gave Barack Obama a work by British graffiti supremo Ben Eine as a gift on his first official visit to Washington.
