Grade AA advertisements now screening! The annual British Arrows Awards serves up the latest and greatest in UK moving image advertising. Bridging Minnesota and the UK, this year’s screening features Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards in his newest kicks and actor Matthew Macfadyen as a holiday party detective.
Experimenting with both form and content, the show encompasses mini-documentaries, sci-fi spoofs, animation, and more. Tapping into quiet nostalgia and raucous humor alike, the annual year-end tradition offers a compendium of stories that are as surprising as they are human.
Run time: 73 min.
New this year: All screenings now feature assigned seating. Buy early to secure your spot.
All in-person British Arrows tickets include free gallery admission (expires January 31, 2026).

About the British Arrows
The British Arrows is a nonprofit organization started by the creative industry for the creative industry, and every year it celebrates the best in moving image advertising in one of the oldest awards shows in the United Kingdom. The Walker Art Center’s involvement with the British Arrows began in 1986. After a screening of the British Arrows’ award-winning ad reels at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Walker’s curator at the time wanted to bring the show to Minneapolis. The association between the two organizations became a long-standing collaboration, which continues to run proudly today.
