Delivered by Culture Mile in partnership with the City of London Corporation and Artiq, City Vistas is an area-wide pop-up exhibition offering a new view of the City.
Emerging artists from London display their work in City businesses, creating a street-level exhibition through the City's Culture Mile, which runs from Farringdon to Finsbury Circus.

The thirteen host sites include a wide range of businesses, from multi-national banks and international law firms to charity organisations, a beauty salon and a cocktail bar, giving an insight into the diverse companies operating in the area.
The exhibition, curated by Artiq, is visible from external street-level vistas—from global corporation lobbies and receptions to the window spaces of shops and bars. These rented artworks activate the public realm and make the City a more vibrant and welcoming place.

Close, exhibiting Interpreter XI by Betty Leung.
Betty Leung is a visual artist based in London. Combining
AI-powered tools, textile work, printmaking and sculpture,
Betty's body of work is inspired by her Australian and Chinese
heritage. Her work is an ongoing investigation into human
behaviour – why do we do the things we do?
Through sculpture, installation, photography and video,
her practice is concerned with social, economic, and
political complexities in the context of human behaviour
and Betty's personal history.

Further east, by Citypoint, the mural Empathy has no borders by Yuliya Dan is installed in front of Leaps & Ground, commissioned by the British Red Cross.
Yuliya Dan is a Ukrainian artist working with ink and calligraphy pens influenced by her early years in Japan. At the centre of her practice is a deep questioning of womanhood and what it is to be a woman in contemporary society.
Empathy has no borders is Yuliya's most personal work to date, being Ukrainian in a time of War. She aims to capture all that is near and dear, all the love and horror, hope and fear.
