The Billboard Creative 2020 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

34 billboards across Los Angeles, California, USA
2-29 February 2020<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the goal of shining light on underexposed artists and their practices through major, public exhibitions of artwork, The Billboard Creative turns billboard advertising spaces into accessible art exhibitions open to all Angelenos. Works are selected through a curated, blind-submission process open to all, and shown alongside selected guest artists that have included Ed Ruscha, Paul McCarthy, Marilyn Minter, and Alex Prager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s show includes works in a broad range of media – photography, painting, assemblages, mixed-media, collage, and sculpture – and includes works from guest artists Marc Dennis and Kara Maria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur concept is to treat the city as an open-air gallery for both the benefit of the artists and Los Angeles,\u201d says Founder and Executive Director Adam Santelli. \u201cLA drivers have passed our boards literally tens of millions of times since we started. That\u2019s public art on a mass scale and an audience that is rare for an artist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Billboard Creative forefronts innovative artists and situates them in the slipstream of one the world\u2019s most vibrant art centers,\u201d said show curator Christopher Vroom, founder of arts nonprofit Artadia<\/a>. \u201cPromoting artistic practice has been a core passion of mine for over 20 years and to be able to work with great artists, giving them a vast canvas and a multi-million sized audience, has been amazingly gratifying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
