The 7th Annual Billboard Creative Exhibition

The Billboard Creative's annual show places mass-scale works of art on dozens of billboards across Los Angeles. Submissions are open internationally to all art disciplines—if artwork can be converted to a digital file, it can be placed on a billboard. The organization accepts paintings, sculptures, mixed media, and other forms of art, but does not currently accept video or audio works. Selected artists will receive their own billboard in Los Angeles for one month. Artwork in previous TBC shows has been passed by cars more than 67 million times and has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Flaunt Magazine, the Huffington Post, NPR/KCRW's Art Talk, Creators Project, and L'Oeil de la Photographie, among other publications.

Billboards are placed in high-traffic, art-centric neighborhoods, including locations near galleries, museums, and art districts. Each exhibit is in public view 24/7 and reaches hundreds of thousands of people. All TBC show billboards are documented and images are made available to both the media and participating artists for use on social media, websites, and other communications. Viewers are guided through the show via a smartphone map that allows users to plot directions for visiting multiple locations and access further information about each artist, including images and links to their websites.

Curator Victoria Burns will conduct a blind-review process to select pieces for the exhibit. If work is selected, TBC covers all expenses for production, mounting, and leasing of the billboard. Artists retain all rights to their work and any inquiries are sent directly to the artist or their gallery. Entry fee is $28.00 with an additional $8.00 media fee. Submissions should include 1-20 images. Everyone is eligible; artists under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian submit their work. TBC is an all-volunteer nonprofit and does not use submitted images for any commercial purpose outside the terms of the TBC show and publicity.
