The 10th Annual Los Angeles Billboard Exhibition

The Billboard Creative (TBC) annual exhibition offers artists the opportunity to have their work displayed on billboards throughout Los Angeles. TBC's shows place mass-scale works on dozens of billboards in high-traffic neighborhoods near galleries, museums and art districts, showcasing emerging, under-appreciated and mid-career artists alongside recognized leaders in the industry. Billboards by TBC artists have been passed by cars more than 67 million times. Past shows have featured artists including Ed Ruscha, Lawrence Weiner, Marilyn Minter and Paul McCarthy alongside emerging artists from across the globe. The show has earned coverage in Hyperallergic, Huffington Post, NPR, and The Creators Project.

Selected artists will receive a billboard for 4 weeks and be part of the LA exhibition. TBC covers all expenses for the production, mounting and leasing of the billboard. All billboards are documented after installation, with high-res imagery made available to participating artists for use on social media, websites and other communications. Viewers are guided through the show via a smartphone map, which provides directions for visiting multiple locations, as well as bios and links to each artist.

Three artists will receive $1,000 each for nonspecific art grants. Everyone who submits is eligible for the grants, whether or not their work is selected for the show. Artists can submit images of their work in Jpeg or Tiff files. TBC accepts many forms of art that can be converted to digital files, including paintings, sculptures and mixed media (video and audio works are not accepted at this time). Entry fee is $28.00 with an additional media fee of $9.00. Submit 1-15 images. International artists are eligible.
