The Arts

Colman Getty campaigns include Museums and Galleries Month, St Martin-in-the-Fields and The Art Fund Prize for Museums and Galleries (formerly The Gulbenkian Prize). We also work in the performing arts and handle both The Laurence Olivier Awards and the Place Prize for Dance.

Museums are another strength, with recent campaigns including the re-opening of The London Transport Museum, the launch of the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool and the campaign for the Art Treasures in Manchester exhibition at Manchester Art Galleries.

In the visual arts, we launched the world’s largest digital arts festival, Shanghai e-Arts Festival in October, with an international PR campaign, and are working with the Jerwood Charitable Foundation on two projects launching in 2008, the Jerwood Moving Image Award and Jerwood Contemporary Makers.

Imagine a season of events that lasts over eight months,

involves more than 150 arts organisations - each with their own messages, from our biggest national institutions to small community facing organisations, that involves every art form and practice, engages mainstream and new auduences - that was Africa 05. And there was only one PR company that could tie it together, give it form, fun and coherence and make it really feel important: Colman Getty

Director, Africa 05

The National Portrait Gallery first worked with Colman Getty on the lead up to the opening of our Ondaatje Wing in 2000, and since then on other smaller projects. They are hugely professional and creative, a delight to work with and extremely sympathetic to the needs of the Gallery. I have great admiration for all their achievements and I am always happy and confident to recommend them to others.
