Ben Moore is a British artist and curator.  

In 2006 he founded Art Below, a public art organisation that has become widely recognized for its innovative approach to promoting art and supporting emerging artists by showcasing their work on billboard space in the London Underground  'Turning Ad Space into Art Space’. Art Below continues to expand globally and has carried out public art exhibitions in cities including Tokyo, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles.

Ben Moore is also the founder and curator of Art Wars which he first established by curating 'one of the most epic, sell out, star studded group shows of our time' at London's Saatchi Gallery during Frieze Week in 2013. 

20 artists including Damien Hirst, Alison Jackson, Joana Vasconcelos, Mat Collishaw and Antony Micallef were all given a stormtrooper helmet with the brief to ‘Turn the Dark into the Art'.  It was a sell out success and attracted media attention worldwide.  Since then Art Wars has sold out exhibitions in Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dubai and Gothenburg welcoming new artists to the fold including Anish Kapoor, Retna, Lauren Baker, Blek Le Rat, and Ben Eine.

The project has made millions in sales and made significant donations to its official charity partner Missing People who Ben Moore is a public ambassador for. 

Two times London marathon runner for the charity, Ben has worked closely with Missing People since his brother Tom disappeared in 2003. To mark the charity’s 25th Anniversary Ben was commissioned to curate 'UnMissable' which featured portraits of missing people by leading artists and was unveiled at The Other Art Fair hosted by Saatchi Art in March 2019. It was celebrated as the highlight of the art fair attracting national coverage from radio, TV and print media.   All proceeds went to Missing People. 

Other charitable exhibitions curated by Moore include 'Me, My Brain and I', 2021 for Parkinson's UK in which included artists Tracy Emin, David Bailey, and Gavin Turk and 'One Small Step’  for the Mines Awareness Group (MAG)  in 2019 which celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landings. 12 leading artists including Chris Levine, D*Face and Mr. Brainwash were each given a life size astronaut helmet to transform into a work of art.   The exhibition was unveiled in London and then toured America as the headline feature of The Other Art Fair and raised over £100K for MAG whose mission is to clear landmines, where one small step can be the difference between life and death. 

In 2021, Ben was commissioned by Lamington Hotel Group and given one year to curate an art exhibition at historic Fulham Town Hall in West London.  He curated each area of the grade 2 listed 52,000 sq ft building including a grand ballroom, a courtroom and function rooms working closely with some of London's most exciting artists to bring the public 'Art in the Age of Now’, a group exhibition that brought together contemporary art, live music, talks and performance art.    

The exhibition was free for the public to attend and received glowing reviews. Forbes listed it in their top 5 "must see" exhibitions and was described by Ed Vaizey (Minister of Arts & Culture) as 'Unlike anything else in London’  Thousands of people came through the doors each day, and it was celebrated as London's first free public art exhibition since lockdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ben is based in West London and is the father of three children. He has a degree in filmmaking and a masters in fine art.
