The Billboard Creative


The Billboard Creative is a 501 not-for-profit arts organization that places artwork by established and emerging artists from around the world on otherwise empty billboards at major junctions across the city of Los Angeles. It was founded in 2015.

History

The Billboard Creative was founded in Los Angeles, California in 2015 by Adam Santelli, Kim Kerscher and Mona Kuhn. It then began producing art shows by renting out unused billboard space as "art replaces advertising" at some of the busiest intersections throughout Los Angeles, for an entire month, annually.
As a nonprofit group, The Billboard Creative has continued to grow by partnering with cultural institutions and distinguished artists. The organization plans to continue providing opportunities for artists to share their work with the broadest audience possible through upcoming special exhibitions, new media projects, and expanding its outdoor art shows to other cities nationwide.
