XPENG is engaging in a collaborative partnership with the London Art Fair, which will see the auto manufacturer utilizing the event as a platform to highlight its automotive design philosophy and promote its upcoming all-electric G6 SUV model.
At the London Art Fair, XPENG will have a dedicated gallery space and will deliver scheduled talks by the brand's design leadership. In the spirit of the event, the auto brand will also host Art Experiences with London-based artist Mr Lee, who will offer free live portraits to visitors throughout the Fair. Another noteworthy branding activation is the XPENG Visionary Art Challenge, which will run through March 15th. Framed as an open call, this initiative asks artists to interpret the phrase 'art in motion' for the chance to receive £6,000 and national publication exposure.
