OLs offisielle kunstner, Chris Reddy, har under mesterskapet salgsutstilling i 3. etasje på Nerstanda kjøpesenter. Denne er verdt å få med seg! Selv beskriver han sitt oppdrag under sjakk-OL slik:
I want to bomb Tromsø with a visual expression, which those who are there during the Chess Olympiad can either love or hate. Chess is art and art is chess. Art and chess have a closer connection than chess and sport. You need input of all types in order to achieve a good output.
