7th PASSION FOR FREEDOM London Art Festival – MALL GALLERIES
21–26 September 2015
…in the Heart of London, together with Mall Galleries, between Trafalgar Square
and Buckingham Palace and within the walking distance of St James’s Park.
Passion for Freedom Art Festival is a large showcase representing the world of
freedom. Artworks are carefully selected by an independent jury from the most
promising contemporary artists who want to share their stories with the public,
willing to change something in their hearts and minds.
The sheer variety of work presented each year is what makes Passion for Freedom
Festival an annual highlight of the cultural and freedom calendar. This year, as ever,
the public will get the chance to select their favourite artists and vote for the best
work.
The world’s largest freedom festival open-entry exhibition represents traditional and
cross-media art, which will be presented together with ten selected books, and ten
renowned journalists. Three visual artists will be nominated for General Awards and
three film productions will receive Freedom Film Awards. The audience will vote
for their favourite piece of art for the People’s Choice Freedom Award during the
private view.
