BMW Group Culture's 2021 included some truly incredible projects – take a walk down memory lane with us 💭

In January, we kicked things off with an ongoing celebration of 50 years of cultural engagement, and bid farewell to 2021 with the reveal of the new BMW Concept XM in collaboration with artist kennedyyanko and hip hop legend nas during the triumphant return of artbasel Miami Beach in December. 

In between, we brought the iconic #BMWArtCars to life with the help of acuteart and partnered with randominternational to produce the fantastic performance piece "No One Is An Island," which made its debut during Frieze London. We announced the 2021 #BMWArtJourney winner, Juliencreuzet and have been following his work closely – we can't wait to see what his journey has produced in 2022!

Happy New Year, from all of us at #BMWGroupCulture. See you in 2022! 🎆
