A Los Angeles nonprofit turning city billboards into public art exhibitions.
The Billboard Creative (TBC) is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization that transforms the city's billboards into public art exhibitions, offering artists an alternative to traditional museums and galleries. Its programming includes an annual billboard exhibition, an artist grant program, and in-depth artist interviews, along with a crowd-sourced public art map cataloging murals, galleries, and museums across LA. TBC's mission is to break down the financial barriers of the conventional art market and treat access to art as a fundamental right rather than a privilege. Its exhibitions have been viewed tens of millions of times and covered by outlets including NPR and Hyperallergic.
