The British Arrows Virtually Return

British Arrows Greatest Hits
November 19, 2020–January 4, 2021
Walker Virtual Cinema (walkerart.org/cinema)
Tickets $12 ($10 Walker members)

As an online presentation this year, a ticket to this annual, beloved event includes a collection of the most inventive ads compiled from more than 40 years of British Arrows Awards history. This unique screening experience shows how the Arrows has evolved over the decades—leading up to a special section of new ads created in the UK during the global pandemic lockdown.

New and long-standing audiences will enjoy one of the Walker’s most popular traditions as an online presentation, showcasing a retrospective of viewer and creative industry favorites. Merging with the world of cinema, the ads’ mini-stories and rogue fantasies reveal changing gender roles, UK identities, and generational public concerns.

The program consistently features loads of self-deprecating humor, social satire and political provocation, singing and dancing, celebrities, and naughty innuendo influenced by developing technologies as well as attitudes.

Tickets and the screening will be available for The British Arrows Greatest Hits online beginning at 10 am (CDT) on November 19.  A portion of ticket sales benefit the Walker Art Center’s year-round programming and staff.

Each ticket includes $10 off a new Walker membership, and 20% off entire purchase of regular priced merchandise at The Walker Shop. For a limited time only, Walker Shop purchases made with a British Arrows discount code will receive a special British treat.

Ticket buyers will also receive pro-tips for tea, cocktails, and special recipes—everything needed to bring the party home with British flair.
